STREET, CHARLES HENRY (1824-87) arrived in Otago in 1853 and took up land at Warepa, where he was a neighbour of T. B. Gillies (q.v.). Not succeeding on the land, he moved to Dunedin and accepted a post in the provincial treasury, but in 1859 resigned to join Robert Gillies in the well-known firm of Gillies and Street, land and estate agents. He was a member of the Provincial Council for North Harbour (1864-67) and was in the executive in 1866. He was for many years superintendent of Knox Sunday school. Street retired from the business in 1877 to live in Auckland, where he was recognised as a man of high integrity and business capacity, but declined to enter public life. He died on 18 Aug 1887.
