Statement of Significance

An important piece of modern architecture by Julius Elischer.

Physical Description

1995 Comment: An important work by architect Julius Elischer from his strongest period.
St Phillip's Church. This structure bears a resemblance to Elischer's Broadway shop built for David Foulkes Taylor. It uses painted brickwork to create a series of planes which are sculpted-out to form a composition of varying-shaped penetrations as on the north wall or into which to add sculpture such as the rainwater spout in the west wall. Dedicated in 8 May 1965, it is a simple oratory plan with an attached hall to the south. The roofs to each major space are monoplaned inwards resulting in a butterfly roof. The sparse garden sets off the building as a sculpture on a plane of green. A bell tower provides visual focus to the entry. which has a cantilevered concrete canopy.
2002 Reassessment: An important work by modern architect Julius Elischer, and noted in Ian Molyneaux's book Looking Around Perth, 1981.
