The place contributes to a substantially intact late nineteenth and early twentieth century streetscape close to the centre of Fremantle.
Single storey stone with brick quoining to corners and window and door openings to the walls of the attached pair which have a zincalume hipped roof. (no 58 has painted stone and brick chimney intact and no 60 has rendered stone)
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. In 1892 Bellevue estate was subdivided by Mr JJ Higham. In 1893 two cottages with four rooms were erected for James Stokes, a dairyman. In 1896 a third cottage was built on the lot and in 1897 a fourth. The latter two were built for RH and JJ Holmes. Robert Hardy and Joseph John Holmes, together with brothers William and George established the meat purveyor firm of Holmes Bros. in Fremantle and Perth. The Fremantle business was located in High Street (lot 424) in 1892 and they later set up a chain of butcher shops in the suburbs and Coolgardie. Both Robert and Joseph took a keen interest in public affairs, Robert serving as a member on Fremantle District Roads Board (later Cockburn Council), 1895-1908. Joseph Holmes served as a Fremantle Councillor 1893-1898 and a member of Parliament.
