House, 38 Hampton Road, is a single storey limestone and iron house dating from c1900. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical building stock located within the residential areas of Fremantle. It is historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.
House, 38 Hampton Road is a single storey, limestone and iron house designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are limestone with rendered quoins. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. Air vents are visible between the roof and verandah. The verandah has a separate dropped corrugated iron roof. The verandah has been infilled with bricks, and has five timber framed double hung sash windows covered in steel grills externally. The house is on limestone foundations. There is a flat roof carport addition to one side.
The street derives its name from John Stephen Hampton, the Governor from 1862-68, previously Comptroller of Convicts in Tasmania. His son, G. E. Hampton, was Acting Comptroller-General of the Fremantle Convict Establishment. House, 38 Hampton Rd was owned by William Stokes, occupied by William Forrest, a Driver/Cabman. A 1978 photograph shows a smooth-rendered masonry and tile cottage with brick verandah wall, which appears new. Concrete front steps lead to the verandah. A brick outdoor toilet with curved roof is evident in the rear yard.
High degree of integrity (original intent clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). Medium degree of authenticity with some original fabric remaining. (These statements based on street survey only).
Condition assessed as fair (assessed from streetscape survey only).
