Aesthetically significant as an example of Fremantle’s vernacular architecture. Typical local shops and attached residences dating from the late nineteenth century. Historically significant as a representation of commercial activity in the Fremantle area.
Single storey pair of shops with zero setback from the pavement. The rendered façade has a parapet with engaged pilasters in the pediments which has ‘1898’ in stucco. There is a zincalume clad roof which has four prominent face brick chimneys with corbelling. The stone sides have brick quoining to the windows. The entrances do not appear original.
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. A shop and room are recorded on this lot in the rate book records of 1919. Physical inspection indicates that the building was built prior to this date, as it has '1898' in stucco on the parapet.
