ArchaeologyConditionCondition assessed as good (assessed from streetscape survey only).HistoryHampton 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. The land on which house 214 Hampton Street is located was vacant in 1920/21 and owned by Lewis George Abbott. A house was built for Abbott in 1923/24 and he was the owner/occupier until the early 1940s. In 1945/46 the owner/occupier was Beryl Evelyn Abbott and in 1951/52 Beryl remained the owner and the tenant was Jessie Abbott. The house was originally numbered 320 and changed to 184 in 1935/36 and in 1951/52 the house was assigned its current number. The house is on 167 and 168 of CSL 134. This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance.
