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 children. Erected by contractors Fischer & Lambie in 1903, the brick edifice had one apartment on each floor, with servants' quarters in the basement. In 1923 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. (1976)
