Argus Lane is a short lane behind the Cathedral of the Assumption. When the Eurasian community moved their church from Church Street over to here, they settled on this little lane in their own village. One of the bungalows there was called Argus House, and it was there that Penang's first newspaper, the Pinang Argus was published way back in 1867, surviving only until 1873.
Today only a small remnant of the Catholic community can still be found on Argus Lane. You can see elements of Catholic influences in the pictures of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary on their front door.

SBI
Ever want to build your own website? Do it the right way by using
Site Build It (SBI). It has all the tools and lessons necessary to help you create a successful website. Once you have built an SBI website, you can also use it to recommend SBI to others with an SBI Affiliate account. What I like most about SBI is that it gives you a whole month to try it out for free, and if you don't like it after a full month, you can seek a full refund. That way, you can see for yourself how SBI can really help you create a great website.
