Shared Note: - The licence for the Maid and Magpie Hotel, Stepney, was held by H.D. Muller in 1852. A subdivision plan of February 1855 shows how the 134 acres of Stepney were organised. There was a four acre triangle at the apex for the Maid and Magpi e Inn held by George Muller 1848-1849 who was: the owner/subdivider; a storekeeper of Kensington; investor; and money lender. He was a partner of Carsten Luhrs of Luhrs Road, Payneham. It is not known if George Muller was a relative. Adolph Koch, cabinet maker, was a buyer of a piece of land of this subdivision. The Maid and Magpie in its strategic location was probably as old as Adelaide itself. At first it was a five room establishment with a wooden refreshment room, a beer garden and skittle ground. Its lamp post, horse trough six-stall stone stable and big galvanised tank became familiar sights to travellers using Payneham and Magill Roads. The Maid and Magpie was first licensed in June 1948, the locality being known as Second Creek near the village of Norwood. George Muller acquired it early and leased it in succession to Johann Beddes, Louis Almers, August Degenhardt and Heinrich Daniel Muller, finally selling to Louis Muller in 1874. The names of George, Louis, Henry, Ann (George's wife) crisscross the suburb of Stepney.
