Description:
Map of the proposed ‘Garden Suburb’ of Dacey, named after John Rowland Dacey (1854–1912), a state parliamentarian for the area from 1895 to 1912, who urged the creation of a garden suburb modelled on the garden city of Letchworth in Hertfordshire, England. It was to to provide low-cost housing for working-class people. Sir John Sulman (1849–1934) planned the estate on crown land that had been reserved as a water conservation site. Daceyville was listed on the Register of the National Estate in 1991. The Daceyville tram line opened in 1913 with services from Circular Quay via Waterloo.
