Comments
The former Perth Uniting Church has closed, and the property is now privately owned. It is the oldest former church building in Perth, opening in 1838 as a Methodist Church (see separate entry - 7300) . It was erected through the efforts of the Rev. J A Manton with the strong financial support of Lieutenant Ball. It was improved over the years and a hall for the Sunday School built in 1933. It became part of the Uniting Church in 1977 and closed about 2003. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 23/12/2018.
