 Hunters Hill Trust - Early Ryde Road
The allotments of land on which these houses were built formed part of Numa Joubert's 1882 Subdivision, a section of Figtree Farm which he inherited from his father Didier Joubert (d.1881) who had acquired this and parcels of adjoining land from Mary Reibey in 1847.
In fact, it was to the west of the College, around Mary and Mark Streets, that workers settled.
Some of the single storey brick houses fronting Ryde Road referred to in Council's current Masterplan survey were constructed by 1914, others after the War, but the entire run that survives today was completed in the early 1920s (see 1928 MWSDB plan).

The volume concludes with correspondence of Mary Slessor, a missionary at Calabar (in modern Nigeria), who was famous already in her lifetime.
Two further correspondences of military officers’ wives follow suit, one, Mary Morgan, niece of the famous Warton brothers so important in paving the way of the Romantic movement in Britain, wrote in the early 1800s, the other, Alice Massay in the 1870s, when India had become a crown colony.
Again, it seems fit that the conclusion should come in the form of a correspondence from a highly independent Indian woman with an English education, Cornelia Sorabji, who spent her turbulent life as a lawyer and social reformer, signalling clearly that the days of the British dominion in the area was drawing to its end.
