In 1914 numbers 1 to 27 were on the northern side with numbers 29 returning from Saint Stephen's Church to Fort Street on the southern side.

The only principal buildings in the Street were the Anglican Church of Saint Stephen, on the corner with George Street, and Saint Stephen's National School at number 38.

There was a beer retailer, Mr J Conroy, at number 44, on the corner with Stanley Street.

It is not known if there were any retail premises in the Street but there was a baker, Mr W J Davey, at number 32 who may have worked elsewhere and not at his home.  Borough Police sergeant George Sandy lived at number 4.
