Municipal Inventory	Adopted	18 Sep 2000	Level 3	Level 3 The City of Fremantle has identified this place as being of some cultural heritage significance for its contribution to the heritage of Fremantle in terms of its individual or collective aesthetic, historic, social or scientific significance, and /or its contribution to the streetscape, local area and Fremantle. Its contribution to the urban context should be maintained and enhanced.

Statement of Significance

The place has aesthetic and historic significance as an example of a rendered masonry house in central Fremantle constructed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and representing the typical living conditions of the townspeople at that period. The place contributes to the substantially intact Hampton Road streetscape.

Physical Description

Single storey rendered masonry house with zincalume hipped and gable with roof set above and back from the pavement level, behind a rendered wall. The roof has two prominent chimneys with corbelling and a half-timbered gable. The dropped Colorbond veranda roof wraps around and down the sides of the prominent bay and projecting front room. The veranda is supported by chamfered timber posts with timber brackets and balustrades. The entrance is on the right side and has fanlights and sidelights; there is a weatherboard addition to the rear of the house.

History

Hampton Road was originally called Prison Road. It derives its name from John Stephen Hampton (1810-1869), the Governor of WA from 1862-68. He was previously Comptroller of Convicts in Tasmania. His son, G. E. Hampton, was Acting Comptroller-General of the Fremantle Convict Establishment.
