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. House, 10 White Street was constructed by 1922, at which time it was described as being a stone house of six rooms, owned and occupied by Leonard Morgan. Morgan retained ownership until 1928, when it was bought by Henry Holland. A 1939 diagram shows House, 10 White Street a brick and stone house, with a full length front verandah. A number of paths led to various outbuildings in the back yard. Ownership changed c. 1949, when Angelo and Elia Cordisco were listed as the owners and occupants. By 1974, ownership has transferred to Richard and Ronald Treleven and in 1995, the property remained in Treleven family ownership. An addition was made to the rear of the house at some time between 1939 and 1984.
