St Andrews Church at 19 Atholl Street is a former church building completed in 1885. The architects were Andrew Heiton and Andrew Grainger Heiton. At one point around 2020 it was scheduled for demolition but it is now being renovated and repurposed as the new YMCA Centre for Perth.

Two war memorials were photographed by PCT when they were under threat due to deterioration of the building. They have been put into safe storage pending decisions on their future.

One is a record of the members of the congregation who fell in the war. The other remembers a former minister of the church who died at Salonica on 3rd October 1918, while serving as chaplain to the 12th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.
