Marker Text:
After attorney Robert G. West (1860-1904) died, his widow Emma Grant West (1865-1952) had this structure built to provide rental income for support of their four childern. Erected by contractors Fischer & Lambie in 1905, the brick edifice had one aparment on each floor, with servants' quarters in the basement. In 1925 Mrs.West sold the rental property to Miss Katie Gannaway (1890-1967), an Austin teacher. It was restored by attorney Byron Lockhart and his wife Nina in 1973.
