| Architect’s and builder’s names |
|
| Special architectural features |
Built
in 1970, this church reflects the architecture of the time - a
juxtaposition of styles designed as a "standalone" architectural
structure. The church has a tiered, clean-lined look. Inside, the
church has a high ceiling and sloping floors. |
| Special fittings |
There
are four plaques mounted on a wall in the porch of the St Peters and St
Marks Anglican Church to commemorate ANZAC losses in World Wars I and
II. Two of the plaques are marble with black inscriptions. The other
two are engraved metal plates that were originally at the base of two
pencil pines outside St Peters Church, East Fremantle. When the church
closed, they were transferred to their current location along with the
two marble plaques. |

Inside the chests of the organ were found papers used as shims labeled
Beales & Company. This does not mean that the Beales firm
built the organ, but that at some stage worked on it. Beales was
a known English organ builder of the late nineteenth century. |
