Commercial Building and attached residence, 142 Hampton Road, is an example of a rendered masonry and tile double storey commercial building and residence dating from c1900. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical commercial building stock located in the Fremantle area.
142 Hampton Road is a two storey rendered masonry and tile shop and attached residence constructed in c1900. The walls are rendered masonry. The roof is hipped and clad with tiles. The shop section of the building is set on the front boundary line whilst the house section is set back. The shop has a central front door recessed behind shop front windows. Much of the original shop front is possibly original fabric. There is a suspended awning over the shop façade and a pair of replacement windows to the upper storey. The house section has a front door and replacement window with roller shutter. There is a verandah roof over the ground floor and a replacement window to the upper storey.
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. 142 Hampton Road was built c. 1900. In 1901/02, it was owned by William Owston and occupied by Laura Ing. It was described as a shop and dwelling in the rate book. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1915 shows a stone building built to the street frontage. The building was divided down the middle, with the northern half built to the street frontage with no verandah. The southern half had a verandah to the street front. To the rear, the northern half had a verandah, while the southern half had a stone addition. In 1931, the property was owned by Francis Freeman and occupied by Patrick Conway. At this time, the street address was 136 to 138 Hampton Road. Chris Trendos owned the shop and residence in the early 1950s. He lived in the residence and leased the shop to tenants. This continued into the 1960s; however by this time the building was recorded in the rate book as shop and upper rooms. The rooms were rated separately. In 1978, the building was used as a St Vincent De Paul store. 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. In 1989, the City of Fremantle received an application to convert the two-storey building for use as a youth hostel.
Medium degree of integrity (original intent mostly clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). Medium degree of authenticity with some original fabric remaining. (These statements based on street survey only).
Condition assessed as fair (assessed from streetscape survey only).
