Baby’s heirs lived in Baby Point until 1910 when the government acquired Baby Point
In 1912 the government sold off Baby Point to Robert Home Smith, an established developer who began building most of the homes in Baby Point
Most of the homes in Baby Point were built in the 1920’s and 1930’s – ranging from two-story detached homes to spacious English manors
