At the turn of the
century, the North Perth Anglican parish of All Saints, Woodville, held
Sunday school classes in Hahn’s tower house on the corner of
Daphne and Angove streets. Church services were initially conducted in
Gibson Hall, on the corner of Daphne and Angove streets, and in North
Perth Primary School. A wooden building was transported from Canning
Mills and erected on the corner of Rose (Glebe) and View streets in
1904. This was used for church services until St Hilda’s Anglican
Church was constructed in 1915 in View Street on the corner of Glebe
Street, with the rectory in GlebeStreet. |
