22385 North Fremantle Precinct
DEMOLISHED. Retained on MHI for historical information only.
Limestone features on this site were identified 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. In 2005, the features were not extant. 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, 72 Thompson Road was built at some time between 1904 and 1922, by which time it was owned by William A Shadfield and tenanted to William Davison. It was sold in quick succession to Arthur Roberts and then Henry Cooling, who also held it as a rental property. Circa 1947, Arthur and C.E. Crowther acquired the title to the property. House, 74 Thompson Road was acquired along with the adjacent 76 Thompson Road in 1979 and was subsequently demolished. House, 76 Thompson Road was constructed at some stage between 1904 and 1922, by which time it was owned and occupied by Lydia Kenny. It was recorded as a four roomed timber house at this time. By the early 1940s, Arthur Robertson was listed as the occupant and by 1947, the place was owned by George and Jessie Brown. They lived there for a number of years, before selling to Dorothy Hoad (later Johns). The house was let to a succession of tenants before being sold to Allen and Hazel Armstrong in 1974. House, 76 Thompson Road was acquired along with the adjacent 72 and 74 Thompson Road in 1979 and was subsequently demolished.
