Subdivision of the area was approved in 1897 and residential development continued steadily from that time. The majority of the houses in the short street were constructed between c. 1900 and c. 1920. The name of the street was officially changed to White Street in 1923. Records indicate that House, 6 White Street was constructed c. 1900. In 1921/22, the property was described as being a five roomed weatherboard house. At this time, it was owned by W.W. Collins and occupied by Charles Stuart. The Stuart family subsequently purchased the house and continued to own it until the mid-1950s.
