Morris Street has a mixture of housing extending back to the early 1880's, through the Federation and Interwar years. While many dwellings have been modified there are still some beautiful examples of domestic architecture and its leadlight that are very well preserved.
​
Morris Street was named after Hubert Morris who lived nearby in Wellesley Street. It is shown in the 1887 subdivision of the Summer Hill Estate that really took advantage of the opening of the new station at Summer Hill. It explains why there are so many Victorian period houses in Morris Street. Urana Street is now Smith Street and Morris Street now extends across Lorne Street to Junction Road.
The northern end of Morris Street was part of the Tavistock Estate in 1887
