The Samson family home, now museum is a historical site. Samson house, along with its contents from two generations of the Samson family, was left to the people of West Australian vice of Frederick Samson. Frederick was elected to the Fremantle City Council in 1936 and became mayor unopposed in 1951. He remained unchallenged in that office until he retired 21 years later in 1972. His enthusiasm for the port city lead to him becoming known as ‘Mr Fremantle’. His legacy included a range of industrial development and protection and re-use of heritage buildings. Samson house was built for Sir Fredericks father, Michael Samson, who was also Lord Mayor of Fremantle. Michael was the son of Lionel Samson, one of the two brothers who arrived in Western Australia aboard the Calista in 1829. They established an import export business which continues today, making it one of the oldest family businesses in Australia. Samson house, completed in 1888, is a well-known Fremantle landmark designed by Sir Talbot Hobbs.
