House, 132 Hampton Road, is a typical rendered masonry and iron single storey house dating from c 1890. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.
132 Hampton Road is a single storey, masonry and iron commercial building (former house) with a symmetrical facade built c1890 and designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are rendered masonry. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The façade is symmetrical with a central front door and pairs of double hung sash windows. The verandah has a separate corrugated iron roof supported on timber posts with rendered masonry balustrade. There are two rendered masonry corbelled chimneys evident. The house is built on the front boundary line.
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.
House, 132 Hampton Road was built prior to 1895. In that year, it was occupied by Fred Grosvenor. Minnie Grosvenor was listed as the owner in 1901/02, while Mr Selk, a post office clerk, lived in it.
A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1915 shows a roughly square stone house with a full length front verandah to the street boundary. There was a small weatherboard addition to the rear, and a separate galvanised iron building near the back fence.
By 1930/31, House, 132 Hampton Road was owned by James Kirk and occupied by Arthur Holt. James owned the cottage, and a considerable amount of other real estate in the area, until the late 1950s, when ownership was transferred to Delice Kirk. House, 132 Hampton Road was a rental property throughout this time.
In 1981, the property was owned by the Alvaro family.
