DEMOLISHED. Retained on MHI for historical information only.
Thompson Road was named for George Thompson (1838-1874), Fremantle's first town clerk (1871-73). The street is mainly residential, with some commercial development at the northern end between Alfred Road and McCabe Road. The majority of the houses were built c. 1900. Only a few lots on the street remained vacant in the 1920s.
House, 9 Thompson Road was built at some time between 1904 and 1913. [Records held at the Fremantle Local History Collection suggest that the house may have been constructed between 1860 and 1900; however, the house is not shown on a 1904 diagram.] A 1913 plan shows 9 Thompson Road as a timber house with a front verandah and partially enclosed rear verandah.
By the early 1920s, the house was owned by John James, who held it as a rental property. By 1934/35, title to the property had passed to Mary Ann McCarthy, whose family retained ownership until the late 1990s.
A 1939 plan shows House, 9 Thompson Road as being weatherboard, with full length front and rear verandahs.
The place had been included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle. It has also been included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80).
In 1998, an application was filed with the Fremantle Council, proposing the demolition of the place.
