A gargage has been on this site since the late 1920s - however a new service station now exists on this site. Further investigations would be required should demolition or major alterations be proposed to ensure that none of the original service station remained. Should a new development be proposed, interpretation of the ongoing use of the site as a service station should be incorporated.

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. The service station at 101 Hampton Road was built in 1927/28 for James Kirk. Prior to this, there had been a cottage on the site (1880 to 1902/03), and then a wood yard and stables. A workshop was added in 1930/31 and in 1950/51, ownership passed to Quinton Stow, who only owned the property until 1952 when the Shell Company of Australia Ltd took it over. In May 1952, Shell submitted plans for alterations and additions. Alterations to the garage, including the construction of a canopy, were approved in 1963. A new brick service station was built on the site in 1970.
Condition assessed as good (assessed from streetscape survey only).
