St Leonard's United Free Church And Church Halls, Scott Street, Perth

St Leonard's United Free Church and Church Halls, located on Scott Street in Perth, was built in 1885 by architect J J Stevenson. This prominent and monumental Scots Gothic Revival church features a six-bay nave and aisle, with a square-plan tower at the east topped by a crown spire. To the north, there are adjoining gabled halls and offices. The building is constructed from hammer-dressed coursed rubble with ashlar margins, showcasing string courses, battlements with broad merlons, and staged buttresses. The windows are predominantly 2-and 3-light pointed-arch designs with curvilinear tracery, and the west gable features a projecting polygonal apse.

The principal elevation on the south side includes a four-stage angle-buttressed tower with a two-leaf timber entrance door set within a pointed-arched, hood-moulded doorpiece that has engaged colonettes. The tympanum above the door displays simple carved tracery. The tower's crown spire is supported by four flying buttresses and is topped with a finial.

Inside, the church retains its original plan form. It features a decorative open timber roof with some carved corbels, timber pews, and a pulpit located at the west end. Pointed-arch arcades separate the aisles from the nave, and there is a panelled timber gallery on the north, south, and east sides, supported by slim cast-iron bundle-shafted columns. The walls have a panelled timber dado, and there is an 1881 organ situated at the east end. The entrance vestibule includes a Neo-Jacobean stone fire-surround. A pair of part-glazed timber swing doors set in a segmental arch leads to the halls, which also contain other stone fire surrounds.

Adjoining to the north are the church hall and offices, which are two-storey structures with en-suite offices featuring 2-and 4-light rectangular windows with stone mullions. There is a single-storey entrance porch and office to the west, and the church hall is characterized by angle buttresses and a central timber and slated polygonal flèche.

The boundary wall surrounding the property is very low and includes a pair of square-plan gatepiers to the west, topped with saddleback coping.
