Description du lieu patrimonial
Constructed in 1910-1911, St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church is a Municipal Heritage Property situated on two lots on the main street in the Town of Foam Lake. Surrounded by a wrought iron fence, the property features a one-storey, wood-frame church with a steeple.
Valeur patrimoniale
The heritage value of St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church resides in its status as the oldest remaining church in Foam Lake. Constructed in 1910-1911, the church was one of the first churches constructed as part of the Railway Mission, a program designed by the Diocese of Qu'Appelle to encourage the establishment of Anglican missions in new communities along certain spur lines across the Prairies. Architecturally, the church is representative of many of the one-storey, wood-frame churches constructed in Saskatchewan during this time. Since its construction, St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church has continued to serve as a place of worship for the community.
