House, 100 Thompson Road, is a typical weatherboard and iron single storey cottage dating from the 1900s. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical building stock located within the residential areas of North Fremantle. Historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the North Fremantle area.
House, 100 Thompson Road, is a single storey weatherboard and iron cottage with an asymmetrical facade constructed in the 1900s. Walls are painted weatherboards. The roof is hipped corrugated iron with no eaves. The verandah is under a separate corrugated iron roof, which is supported by timber posts with a timber frieze. The front elevation was originally symmetrical. One end of the verandah has been infilled and replacement windows introduced.There is a painted timber picket fence to the front boundary.
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, 100 Thompson Road was built between 1907 and 1910, at which time Thomas Richards was recorded as the occupant. In 1923/24, the four roomed weatherboard house was recorded as being owned and occupied by Richards. He was still living there in 1945. A 1939 diagram shows the house (then numbered 97) as a weatherboard house with a full length front verandah and a path leading from the street, down the southern side of the house and into the back yard. There were two outbuildings towards the rear of the back yard. An application was made in 2003 to reclad the house with weatherboards. Heritage advice was prepared by Palassis Architects in early 2004. This place was included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle.
