Aesthetically significant as an example of Fremantle’s vernacular architecture. Typical timber framed single storey cottage dating from the first decades of the twentieth century. Historically significant as a representation of working people’s living conditions in the Fremantle area.
Single storey stone and rendered ashlar effect quoined residence has a Colorbond hipped roof. There is a stained leadlight glass fanlight above the timber paneled front door and timber double hung sash windows. The dropped verandah is supported by timber posts.
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. There is a plaque on the façade which states that this place received a Heritage Award in 1985.
