The place has aesthetic and historic significance as an example of an attached pair of rendered cottages 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. The building is not highly intact and recent fabric is not significant.
Duplex, 4-6 Hampton Road is a single storey semi-detached rendered and corrugated hipped roofed pair of residences, setback from the pavement, behind limestone walls. Number 4 has a limestone garage at the front. The roof has chimneys with corbelling; a dropped corrugated iron veranda roof is supported by timber posts and has timber brackets and balustrades (probably not original). The entrance is via rendered steps and features sidelights and fanlights.
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. Lot 822 was owned originally by William Owston from 1879, followed by Jonathon Crake and J K Hitchcock from 1880. Duplex, 4-6 Hampton Road were built in 1887. From 1889 the lot was owned by Capt. Edward Henry Fothergill, merchant, and then by his son from 1918 to 1931. Capt. Edward Henry Fothergill was Master Mariner of the vessel 'Cleopatra.' He built the Cleopatra Hotel and was licensee from 1882-86. His son Edward was Fremantle's Mayor 1909-10. Edward III was a well-known antique dealer. There were alterations internally to both sides c1960-1961.
