Statement of Significance

House, 113 Hampton Road, is a typical masonry and tile single storey house dating from c 1939. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Inter War California Bungalow style of architecture.

Physical Description

113 Hampton Road is a single storey, masonry and tile house with a symmetrical façade built 1939 and designed as an example of the Inter War Bungalow style of architecture. The walls are masonry. The roof is pitched and clad with tiles. The verandah is under a broken back tiled roof and is supported by cement columns. There is a rendered chimney evident. There is a high rendered masonry and timber wall to the front boundary line together with proliferate foliage making further description difficult. This place contains a limestone feature.

History

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. House, 113 Hampton Road was built in 1939 for James Kirk. The plans were drawn up by Fremantle architects, Allen and Nicholas, and the estimated cost was £600. There had been a cottage on the lot prior to this, which was built c. 1900 for Annie and Richard Taylor. Richard was a traffic inspector. A Metropolitan Sewerage diagram dated c. 1910 shows the lot as vacant land, with a substantial fence running between 111 and 113 Hampton Road (for about half the length of the lot), across the front of 113 and extending across the front of 115 Hampton Road. The lot at No. 113 appears to have been a horse paddock associated with the stables at the rear of No. 115 Hampton Road. James Kirk owned the cottage until the late 1950s. By 1960, the house was owned and occupied by Stella Mills. The Mills family still owned the cottage in 1981. This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance. (Coded: Red: "Significantly contributing to the unique character of Fremantle") This place was identified in the "Heritage Report on 19th century limestone walls and steps in Fremantle" prepared by Silvana Grassadonia, for the City of Fremantle, 1986. Limestone walls were built around properties in Fremantle to prevent sand drift in response to an early building regulation dating from the 1830s. The use of limestone is part of the Fremantle landscape and gives the City coherence and character. It is not known how old this particular wall is.

Physical Description

Duplex, 115-115A Hampton Road is a single storey, limestone, brick and iron duplex pair with a symmetrical façade built in 1900 and designed as an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture. The walls are limestone with brick quoins. The verandah has a separate corrugated iron roof. There is a low level rendered masonry wall to the front boundary line together with proliferate foliage making further description difficult. This place contains a limestone feature.

History

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. Duplex 115-115A Hampton Road was built in 1900 for Annie Taylor. By 1920, James Kirk owned the property. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1910 shows a large brick house with full length front and rear verandahs. There was wood block paving and several outbuildings behind the house. The lot next door (113 Hampton Road) was part of this holding, and appears to have been a paddock associated with the weatherboard stables at the rear of No. 115. The land at the rear of the house was the subject of an archaeological survey in 1988. A blacksmith’s forge, well and an air-raid shelter were located. These were later built over with units (113A and 113C Hampton Road). It has been recorded that James Kirk moved his father’s blacksmith’s shop from his home at 121 Hampton Road to 115 Hampton Road in the 1930s and that he blacksmithed as a hobby until the 1940s. James Kirk was appointed an Air Raid Warden at the outbreak of World War II and excavated an air raid shelter adjacent to the small cottage he had built at the rear of the lot in 1935. The property was owned by the Kirk family until 1988, by which time it was in poor condition. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.

History

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. House and Forge, 117-121 Hampton Road was built c. 1900 for James Kirk, a blacksmith. There was already a large stone building on the lot (included street addresses 117 to 121 Hampton Road), which had been built in the 1850s as a stable for the nearby church. It became Kirk’s blacksmith shop. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1910 shows a stone house with full length front and rear verandahs. There was a substantial fence along the front of the house, which extended towards a stone building located at 121 Hampton Road. This building was built up to the street boundary and had substantial fenced areas to the rear - presumably this was the blacksmith’s forge. The two properties shared a large, open area at the back that contained a well. By 1930/31, James Kirk had built himself another house in Hampton Road, and leased the cottage to Edward McCann. By this time, the former forge had become a garage and was leased by J & L Baker. The cottage was leased to a number of tenants, and in the 1950s, ownership was transferred to Delice Kirk. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle. By 1991, the former stable had been purchased for transformation as an art gallery, but was in fact converted to a family home.

History

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. House, 129 Hampton Road was built in 1887 for John Cadden, a pensioner guard. Two years later, Annie Cadden was a widow and was listed as the owner and occupier of the cottage. John Cadden (1829-27/5/1889) arrived in Western Australia as an Enrolled Pensioner Guard. In 1880, he was stationed at Fremantle and lived at No. 1 Barrack with his wife and four children. Annie Cadden was a midwife and is listed in the ‘Bicentennial Dictionary of Western Australians’ as living at Glennifer Cottage, Hampton Road. Annie married Alexander Quinn in Fremantle in April 1890 and sold her Hampton Road property to Edgar Howard Gliddon, Fremantle’s town surveyor from 1887 to 1897. Mr Gliddon went on to be the City of Perth’s engineer until 1920. In 1891, the property was sold to Alfred Fry, a draper. Mr Fry owned the cottage until 1901/02, by which time it was described in the rate books as a five roomed cottage. Mr Fry lived in it until 1897, and then leased it to William James Thorn, a carrier. It was Mr Thorn who bought the cottage in 1901/02. He added stables to the property immediately. Local memory has it that Mr Thorn had two horse drawn lorries. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1910 shows a large stone house with full length front and rear verandahs, built in the centre of two lots. A small weatherboard building was located to the northwest of the back of the house, and the backyard was fenced into several sections, including a fowl run and horse yard. A weatherboard stable was located against the back boundary of the southern lot. There was also a galvanised iron shed located against the southern boundary. In 1927, William Thorn sold House, 129 Hampton Road to Frances Cridland, who lived in the house with her husband, George. Mrs A Thorn bought the property in 1934/35 and leased it to tenants. Between 1937/38 and 1980, the house was owned and occupied by George and Ellen Groves. It has had a number of owners since then. In 1944, plans were approved for the old stables to be repaired and a feedhouse and cart shed constructed. A garage was built c. 1957. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle.
