Comments

The former St Andrew's Anglican Church, Perth, held its last service on 24/2/2008, and the property was sold. The church was in the diocese of Tasmania. The first St Andrew's church was opened on 17/1/1836, and consecrated on 12/5/1838 by the Rev W Broughton, Bishop of Australia. Due to the detoriation of that building the present church building was erected and opened, nearby, on 15/1/1879. The church celebrated its diamond jubilee on 17/1/1938. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 29/4/2019 & 11/5/2023.
