Aesthetically significant as an example of Fremantle’s vernacular architecture. Typical single storey stone cottage dating from the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. Historically significant as a representation of working people’s living conditions in the Fremantle area. Has undergone significant alterations but original form remains intact.
Single storey painted stone and painted brick quoined residence has a terracotta tile (probably not original) hipped roof. The roof has two brick chimneys and extends over the verandah which is supported by timber posts and lattice balustrading which is not original. There is stained leadlight glass in the entrance door, sidelights and fanlights. The following places form a significant group and contribute to the streetscape of Hampton Road; 194, 196 & 200.
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. This lot (149 CSL 134) is recorded as being vacant in 1924/25. A residence is recorded in 1930.
