Municipal Inventory | Adopted | 14 Dec 2016 | Historical Record Only |
10945 Thompson Road Precinct
DEMOLISHED. Retained on MHI for historical information only.
Limestone features were identified on this site in the "Heritage Report on: 19th century limestone walls and steps in Fremantle" prepared by Silvana Grassadonia, for the City of Fremantle, 1986. It is not known what form the features took. They were not extant in June 2005. Thompson Road was named for George Thompson (1838-1874), Fremantle's first town clerk (1871-73). The street is mainly residential, with some commercial development at the northern end between Alfred Road and McCabe Road. The majority of the houses were built c. 1900. Only a few lots on the street remained vacant in the 1920s. House, 66 Thompson Road was built c. 1935 on previously vacant land, possibly for Charles Hyne (he was listed as the occupant in 1935 but it is not known if he was the owner). A 1939 diagram shows House, 66 Thompson Road (then 70 Thompson Road) as large weatherboard house with a full length front verandah. It was set a long way back from the street, with steps leading from the street up to the level of the house. Arthur and Annie Heys purchased the property in 1945 and lived in it for a short time before letting it to tenants. It is not known when the house was demolished but a new residence had been built by 1980.
