10945 Thompson Road Precinct
DEMOLISHED. Retained on MHI for historical information only.
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, 65 Thompson Road was built some time between c. 1890 and 1904. In 1921/22, the seven roomed timber house was owned and occupied by Olive Dawson. After her marriage in 1930, she became Olive Bradfield and lived at 65 Thompson Road with her husband until 1961. A 1939 diagram shows House, 65 Thompson Road as a large weatherboard house with a full length front verandah and a long centrally located path leading from the street to the front of the house. there was a paved area at the rear of the house and a large galvanised outbuilding against the north-eastern corner of the yard. The house was demolished in 1970 when owner Charles Smith was given approval to build a plumbing and supply store and warehouse on the property. Work was completed by R.F. Smith in August 1970, at an estimated cost of $18,000. In the mid-1990s, the plumbing warehouse was converted to five residential apartments.
