Transcription of Blue Plaque: HEIDELBERG HERITAGE ASSOCIATION MR MARÉ'S HOUSE Mr Frederick Korsten Maré was appointed the first Magistrate of Heidelberg in 1866, when it is presumed that the house was built. President Paul Kruger would often visit the Maré family and would overnight in one of the “stoep kamers”. The Maré family stayed here until 1879. The property was leased to the Standard Bank of British South Africa from 1879 to 1881. In 1984 the property was sold to the Methodist Church. In 1989 the building was declared a National Monument.
