The house's first residents are the Reverend William Fitzsimmons, an 18th-century Episcopal Church minister who is arrested for helping French prisoners escape from Edinburgh Castle; Francis and Isabella Ronaldson, the former a post office worker who spied on Glasgow weavers to detect signs of radicalism; and the Steell family, including John, a skilled craftsman and but terrible businessman, and his son John Steell Junior, who became one of Edinburgh's finest sculptors.
