History
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, 27 Thompson Road was constructed c. 1959 and was the first development on the lot. The house was built for owner, Michael Reeves. The place has had few owners since it passed out of the Reeves family in the mid-1970s.
This place was included in the "North Fremantle Heritage Study", prepared by Craig Burton, for the City of Fremantle, June 1994.
