The Deanery, Perth, Anglican Church office building in Perth, Australia

The Deanery stands at the corner of St Georges Terrace and Pier Street, a Gothic Revival house designed by Richard Roach Jewell with input from Reverend George Pownall. It was built by former convicts on tickets of leave and opened in November 1859. The building now serves as offices for the Anglican Church.

The building was constructed in the late 1850s through joint funding from the Government and the Anglican Church, replacing the former Perth Gaol site. Its construction marked an important moment in the city's development as religious institutions established their presence in Perth.

The building on St Georges Terrace originally housed the residence of Reverend George Pownall and served as an important administrative center for the Anglican Church. Its architecture reflects Perth's colonial past and shows how early religious institutions used their spaces in the developing city.

The Deanery stands at the corner of St Georges Terrace and Pier Street, a short walk from the cathedral it serves. It is not open to the public: since 1982 it has housed the Cathedral offices, so visitors see the exterior and the 2017 garden from the street. The building was re-roofed and repaired externally in 2010 and 2011.

Before The Deanery was built, the site held the old Perth Gaol, where the Aboriginal elder Midgegooroo, father of Yagan, was executed by a firing squad of the 63rd Regiment on 16 May 1833 without trial. The town stocks are also thought to have stood in the grounds. The land was exchanged with the Crown in July 1858 so the Deanery could rise beside the cathedral.
