The final subdivision of Johnston's South Annandale estate took place in 1905, and building was not completed until 1916-1918.

A small amount of light industry was established in the early 1920s in the area close to Parramatta Road, including H. Small and Co., a chocolate maker opening in 1928, and Starkeys Cordials. Both establishments have since closed and their premises have been converted into offices and apartments.
