Modernised and extended over time (whilst remaining sympathetic to the integrity of the home) Greenslade's House is situated on a prominent block of land next to Greenslade's Shop (now called Nibali Stockfeed). Built by John Greenslade, the house is setback from the road and quite elevated. It was built from coarse faced limestone blocks (quarried from this site) with red brick quoins. The limestone rock was blasted from the hill on the property. The person responsible for the blasting was 'Andy' a local character renowned for his drinking habits. Greenslade became a well known personality who contributed to many community organisations. He helped in the foundation of Fremantle Hospital. The Nuclear Medicine wing of the hospital is named in his honour.

The design of the house is symmetrical and the hipped roof is corrugated iron. The facade of the house is shaded by a verandah under a broken backed roof ( a type of roof), supported by decorative wooden posts.

Greenslade's House has historic significance through its association with the Greenslade family. John Greenslade originally came from Somerset in England. He migrated to Australia in 1913 and his first job was as a driver for Bolton's Produce Store. He progressed from there by buying a block of land in Hamilton Hill and with the stone found on the block he built a house and produce store. Greenslade became a prominent community member, serving on the Fremantle Hospital Board and the Jandakot and Fremantle Roads Boards.

Greenslade's House is Category B on the Municipal Inventory - (Considerable significance, very important to the heritage of the locality. Conservation of the place is highly desirable. Any alterations or extensions should be sympathetic to the heritage values of the place)

-Can you imagine living in a house with so much history and importance, that has been constructed with stone from the very site it sits on?
-Can you imagine that house being just 2km from the beach (approx. 3 minutes by car) and less than 5km to Fremantle?
