The Deanery, Perth, Heritage building in Perth, Australia.
The Deanery on St Georges Terrace features thick external walls made of Brisbane tuff with sandstone facings and a pyramidal hipped roof pattern.
The building, constructed in the late 1850s with funding from the Government and Anglican Church, initially served as residence for Reverend George Pownall.
Former convicts participated in the construction of this colonial structure, which cost £900 and replaced the previous Perth Gaol site.
The Deanery now functions as Cathedral offices, providing administrative services following extensive restoration work completed in May 1982.
Public protests in 1953 successfully prevented the demolition of the building, leading to modernization efforts that preserved its historical elements.
