Transcription of Blue Plaque: HEIDELBERG HERITAGE ASSOCIATION Arthur House Andrew Young Arthur (1838-1906) came to Heidelberg with his wife Mary Sinclair nee Campbell (1835-1909) in 1872, with their two children John (1868- 1941) and Elizabeth (1869-1942) and stayed in this house. They opened a butchery. One can see the house in the 1874 and 1880 pictures of Heidelberg. Extensions on both sides of the house have been added. There is a plaque in the Methodist Church in honour to the two teenagers, Andrew and Annabella, that died of Typhoid in 1897. This house could be the oldest still standing in Heidelberg (Source: The Heritage Portal)
