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, 37 Hampton Road was built at some stage before 1910. In that year, it was listed in the rate books as a cottage owned and occupied by Frederick George. At that time, it was numbered 65 Hampton Road. A PWD plan dated 1913 shows a relatively large house of L shaped plan form, with a full length front verandah and a rear verandah. By 1930/31, the cottage was owned by Percy Jeffrey, though occupant is listed for that year. Percy owned the house until the late 1960s. By 1960, House, 37 Hampton Road was owned by Orlando and Carmina Albano. It changed hands twice in the next four years – first to the Sciascia family and then to Antonio Galliano. In 1981, the Cantatore family were the owners. 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.
