- Wesley Church in Perth is gebouwd in de jaren 1867-1870. Het gebouw is ontworpen door Richard Roach Jewell. Op 10 april 1870 nam men de kerk in gebruik. De firma Bishop & Son leverde in 1875 een pijporgel. Dit orgel werd in 1908 vervangen door een nieuw orgel van de firma Dodds & Sons. Het Bishop-orgel verkocht men aan Queens Hall, naast de kerk gelegen. Het bestaat nog altijd, maar bevindt zich sinds 1984 in Hale School in Wembley Downs.
- Het nieuwe orgel van Dodd was groter dan het oude, dat maar vijftien stemmen had. Het werd gebouwd met moderne pneumatische tractuur en kegelladen. In 1927 is het orgel door de firma Roberts uit Adelaide uitgebreid met een derde klavier, Choir Organ. In 1994 voerde de firma Larner een restauratie uit, waarbij de tractuur is geëlectrificeerd.
