The place has aesthetic and historic significance as an example of a rendered masonry 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.
Single storey rendered masonry house with zincalume hipped and gable with roof set above and back from the pavement level, behind a rendered wall. The roof has two prominent chimneys with corbelling and a half-timbered gable. The dropped Colorbond veranda roof wraps around and down the sides of the prominent bay and projecting front room. The veranda is supported by chamfered timber posts with timber brackets and balustrades. The entrance is on the right side and has fanlights and sidelights; there is a weatherboard addition to the rear of the house.
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.
