Heritage ThemesDEMOGRAPHIC SETTLEMENT & MOBILITY: SettlementsStatement Of SignificanceHOUSE, 182 HAMPTON ROAD, a single storey masonry and tile roofed house, is a representative example of a modest dwelling constructed in c1940, reflecting the architectural and social trends of the Inter-War period (c. 1915–1940). This place is significant as a modest yet important example of Fremantle’s residential history.
The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. The house exhibits characteristic features of the Inter-War Bungalow style, including a simple hipped roof, asymetrical facade and a verandah supported by columns. These elements contribute to the historical streetscape and the broader residential character of Fremantle. This bungalow reflects the suburban expansion of Fremantle, which included the expansion into Beaconsfield and Chesterfield, during the Inter-War period, when economic growth and advances in transportation facilitated the development of modest worker and middle-class housing . It provides insight into the living conditions and domestic architecture of the era.
The house contributes to Fremantle’s community identity, representing a period when the area saw increased residential development to accommodate a growing population. It remains significant as part of the city’s evolving heritage and connection to its working-class past.
This house is a good example of the type and retains key architectural features that typify the period.
