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, 177 Hampton Road was built in 1916/17 for the Jones family. Lilly Jones and then Charles Jones were listed as the owners in 1917/18; Samuel Jones was the occupant at this time.
Circa 1924, ownership of the cottage was transferred to Samuel Jones, who continued to live there until he sold it to Michael McCall in the early 1930s. Between c. 1958 and c. 1966, House, 177 Hampton Road was owned and occupied by the Minciullo family.
A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1950 shows a small brick residence with a full length front verandah and a centrally located front path. There was a weatherboard addition at the rear and a separate asbestos outbuilding against the back fence.
Manuel Goelho was the owner and occupier of the house from the mid-1970s until at least 1995.
