History

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. Shop and House, 67 Hampton Road was built c. 1900. The post office directory for that year records a residence and shop at 99 and 101 Hampton Road. The cottage was occupied by James Moore and the shop by Thomas Simson. The rate book for the following year records James Shepherd as the owner of the residence and shop and rooms. George Pearson lived in the cottage while Joseph North occupied the shop and rooms. Brownlie was the owner in 19151/6 and Minetta Lancaster by 1920. The Lancaster families owned the property until 1949/50 when ownership was transferred to Rose Stacey. By 1952, Walter Stacey was the registered owner of the shop and residence that were occupied by Daphne Stacey (residence) and Mrs Smith (shop). By 1956, Joseph Silich owned the two buildings. James McEwan was the owner in the early 1960s and during this time, both the shop and the residence were leased to tenants. By 1981, the property was owned by the Miragliotta family. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle.
