History of St Columba's Church
The area of Peppermint Grove was originally home to many Scottish people. Because of this, a large number of people there followed the Presbyterian faith.
Early Beginnings in Peppermint Grove
Before the current church was built, there was an earlier building. It was called the St Columba's Presbyterian Church Hall. This hall was built in 1896 on Venn Street. It was the very first church building in Peppermint Grove. For a while, it also served as the only school in the neighborhood. This continued until the Cottesloe State School was built.
Building the Current Church
A few years later, a piece of land was given for the new church. This land was located at the corner of Venn and Keane Streets. It was donated by Alexander Forrest. The design for the new church building was created by an architect named Louis Bowser Cumpston.
Construction of the church began on November 20, 1909. The first stone was laid by a person named F. A. Moseley.
