Holland Historic District

Highlight • Historical Site

The Holland Historic District is located west and south of Holland's primary business district and the adjacent Hope College. It is a primarily residential district, with a smattering of commercial, educational, municipal and religious structures.[3] The district contains a total of 194 buildings, of which 158 are considered as contributing to the historic nature of the district. Most of these are single-family residential houses. The houses in the district are significant as good representations of architectural styles characteristic of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, in particular the range of fine Queen Anne structures.
