St. Andrew's Uniting Church, Perth
Saint Andrew's Uniting Church was built in 1906. It was designed by James Hinse in a blend of Gothic and Arts and Crafts architectural styles. The building has standard nave and transepts as well as a bell tower with a metal spire.
Originally a Presbyterian Church, the building was purchased by a private entity, and then used as a Uniting Church. Services for Saint Andrew's Uniting Church moved to a new building in 2015 when the structure of the older building was no longer sound.
The church organ was built in 1924 by W.L. Roberts. It was rebuilt again in 1954 and 1986. The organ was removed after the church no longer held services.
The church is notable for being the first Presbyterian Church in Western Australia. It was added to the State Heritage List in 1985 and the State Register in 1996. It was given these honors for being a place of significant cultural importance in Western Australia.
