Born in Louisville to Gustav and Julie Bohn, Arthur moved to Indianapolis with his parents as a child. In 1884, he and Bernard Vonnegut met while both were teaching descriptive geometry at an industrial training school organized by the German-English School Society. In 1888, they formed the architectural firm of Vonnegut and Bohn. Bohn devoted himself to architecture for 60 years, not retiring until 1945.

Arthur Bohn is buried with his wife, parents, and other family members in Section 36, Lot 228. GPS (39.8203882, -86.1653236)
