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, 128 Hampton Road was built prior to 1900. In that year, it was owned and occupied by Charles Pettersen, a shipwright. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1915 shows a square stone house, with a full length front verandah to the street boundary. There was a shortened rear verandah, and in the backyard was a separate galvanised iron outbuilding and a well. By 1930/31, Harriett De San Miguel had bought the property. She owned it until c. 1970 and leased it to tenants throughout the majority of this time. By 1981,l House, 128 Hampton Road was owned by the Ball family.
