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, 92 Hampton Road was built between 1895 and 1900. The post office directory for 1900 lists William Jarratt as living in the cottage. There was a simple square building (no verandahs or outbuildings) at 92-94 Hampton Road in 1913. By 1930/31, House, 92 Hampton Road was owned Patrick Armstrong and occupied by Thomas Armstrong. At this time, it was numbered 94 Hampton Road. The cottage changed hands in the 1950s, with Angela La Presti buying it c. 1955. By 1960, it was owned and occupied by Battista Miragliotta, who still owned it in 1981. 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.
