History
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, 97 Thompson Road was built between c. 1910, by which time Thomas Richards was living in the four roomed timber house. Richards continued to live in the house until c. 1945 and it appears that improvements were made c. 1926 (as indicated by a substantial increase in the ratable value of the property).
Sarah Davies purchased the property some time after 1945 and continued to live there until at least 1982. It is assumed that the original cottage was demolished and replaced with a new residence some time after 1982.
The place had been included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.
