Constructed in 1896, 96 Hampton Road, also known as "Bundi Kudja", has been an iconic piece of Fremantle's colourful history.

Originally built in the late 1800's for prominent Fremantle cordial manufacturer William Letchford and his family, this limestone, brick, and iron home has been beautifully preserved throughout the years. Later purchased by the government in the 1950s, it served as the Bundi Kudja Maternity Hospital, and today it serves as the home for its loving owners. Adorned with antique fixtures and fittings throughout, the residence also features 13 hand-installed crystal chandeliers that were sourced from French countryside homes.
