Lots in Dudley Street were first auctioned as part of the 1st Dobroyd Point Estate in 1909. The estate was owned by the Haymarket Permanent Land and Building Investment Company which owned and developed most of the land north of Waratah Street in Haberfield. The extent of their holdings is shown on the 1914 map of the Dobroyd Estate Haberfield. Most of the houses were constructed from the Mid-Federation years, with a bit of a hiatus during World War 1, to the early and mid-1920’s. This is why there are a number of beautiful Federation houses and Californian Bungalows in the same street.
The first lots in Dudley Street were Auctioned in 1909 and then in 1910.
