10945 Thompson Road Precinct
House, 27 Thompson Road, is a weatherboard and iron single storey cottage dating from the Post War period. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the building stock located within the residential areas of North Fremantle.
House, 27 Thompson Road, is a single storey weatherboard and iron cottage with asymmetrical facade constructed in the Post War Period. Walls are painted weatherboards. The roof is hipped corrugated iron. The verandah is under a continuous corrugated iron roof which is supported by timber posts. The verandah has a simple timber balustrade. There is a low limestone wall to the front boundary line. Aerial views show roof alterations and a rear addition.
Thompson Road was named for George Thompson (1838-1874), Fremantle's first town clerk (1871-73). The street is mainly residential, with some commercial development at the northern end between Alfred Road and McCabe Road. The majority of the houses were built c. 1900. Only a few lots on the street remained vacant in the 1920s. House, 27 Thompson Road was constructed c. 1959 and was the first development on the lot. The house was built for owner, Michael Reeves. The place has had few owners since it passed out of the Reeves family in the mid-1970s. This place was included in the "North Fremantle Heritage Study", prepared by Craig Burton, for the City of Fremantle, June 1994.

Condition assessed as good (assessed from streetscape survey only).
