History

The area around Hulbert Street was subdivided by John Thomas in 1896. The street was originally called Jane Street. It was changed in honour of an accountant named Hulbert who lived in Jane Street for a time and worked at the smelting works. House, 16 Hulbert Street, was constructed c. 1930. In 1930/31, the house was owned and occupied by Walter Baker. Mr Baker continued to own the house until c. 1982. It appears that the house has only had one owner since that time.
