Municipal Inventory	Adopted	18 Sep 2000	Level 2	Level 2 The City of Fremantle has identified this place as being of considerable cultural heritage significance in its own right within the context of Fremantle and its conservation is a priority.

Statement of Significance

The place is a good example of a stone residence in the Federation Queen Anne style, representing the expansion of Fremantle in the gold boom period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
The place contributes to a substantially intact late nineteenth and early twentieth century streetscape close to the centre of Fremantle.

Physical Description

Single storey stone with brick quoining to corners and window and door openings to the walls of the house which has a zincalume hipped roof. The dropped verandah returns on the north side and is supported by timber posts.

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.
In 1901/02 the vacant lot was owned by Emily Abbott. A cottage was erected on the site in 1902/03 for Emily Abbott. The first occupant was Herbert Abbott, a contractor.
