St John’s Lutheran Church in Perth, Western Australia. Built in 1936, St John’s was the first Lutheran Church in Perth. It was designed by architect Richard Spanney and is an example of Inter-War Gothic architecture. The church is constructed from Darlington laterite stone. Other features typical of medieval church architecture are the square tower, the solid buttresses, the decorative crenellations along the roofline and the window tracery,
The altar comes from the earlier church in Fitzgerald Street, Perth.
The pulpit comes from the Fremantle church (now demolished).
The Lutheran Church in Western Australia began in the 1880s when several Lutheran families migrated from the Barossa Valley near Adelaide. After worshipping in church halls and their own school, they built the tiny but striking St. John's in 1936.
