The City of Fremantle has identified this place as being of considerable cultural heritage significance in its own right within the context of Fremantle and its conservation is a priority.

Statement of Significance

The place has aesthetic and historic significance as an example of a face brick and iron 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

House, 34 Hampton Road is a single storey face brick house with limestone foundations and a corrugated iron hipped gable roof, set on a corner, above and back from the pavement level, behind a low brick wall. The roof has two prominent chimneys with corbelling and two half-timbered roughcast rendered gables; one faces Fothergill Street, where the veranda returns. The verandah is supported by turned timber posts between the timber frieze and balustrades. The entrance has stained leadlight glass fanlights and sidelights; there are weatherboard additions 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.
Isadore Cristofer Vincent 1868-1951 built the house at No. 34 in 1913. It was then owned by his daughter Monica until 1990. It was then sold at auction.
Isadore Cristofer Vincent was born in Fremantle in 1868, son of a ship's captain who died at sea. He was a carpenter apprentice at Zimpel’s in Subiaco before becoming a builder.
