St George's Cathedral, Perth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St George's Cathedral is an Anglican church, located in the centre of Perth, Western Australia in St Georges Terrace, Perth. It is the primary Anglican church in the city.
Built in 1888, the building is described as Gothic Revival and is made from handmade clay bricks, Victorian blue stone pillars on footings from Rottnest Island limestone. It was designed by Sydney architect Edmund Blacket. The site is near to the location of the first church built in Perth, by Frederick Irwin in December 1829 a few months after the city was founded.
Its castellated bell tower was badly damaged in the 1968 Meckering earthquake. The church is currently undergoing a major repair and renovation project.
Adjoining the church is the 1859 Perth Deanery building.
