Regarding St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church opened on March 11, 1928, just five years after the original church had been destroyed by fire. In 1930, the church was presented with a bell from the First Presbyterian Church, which had also been destroyed by fire in 1867. This bell hangs in the church tower. St. Andrew’s Hall (next door, facing Foster Street) was purchased in 1921 from the Merchant’s Bank. (from the Heritage Perth Walking Tour brochure)
