House, 183 Hampton Road, is a typical rendered masonry and iron single storey house dating from c 1915. 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 Federation Bungalow style of architecture.
183 Hampton Road is a single storey, brick and iron house with a symmetrical facade designed as an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture. The walls are rendered masonry. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The front elevation has a central front door flanked on either side by double hung sash windows. The verandah has a continuous corrugated iron roof and is supported by turned timber posts with decorative timber brackets. There are two brick and rendered corbelled chimneys with chimney pots evident. The house is situated at street level and there is a limestone and timber picket wall to 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, 183 Hampton Road was built between 1900 and 1930. In 1930/31, it was owned and occupied by Elizabeth Southwell. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1950 shows a brick residence with a projecting front room to the south. The northern half of the façade was enclosed with asbestos and glass. There was a centrally located front path and the backyard was heavily paved with several outbuildings (weatherboard, asbestos and galvanised iron) located against the northern boundary. In the early 1950s, the house was owned by Clarence McAllister, before ownership was transferred to Laura McAllister. Laura Snell was the owner in the 1960s through to the early 1980s. This place was 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.
