Built in 1907, this Greek Revival  home remained in Edward A. Masur until 1977.  Mr. Masur came to Texas from Germany in 1873.  At 14, Edward joined his brothers, Joseph and Henry, in the furniture and hardware business.   Other business interests included the Carter Hotel, farming, and cotton ginning.   During the cotton boom, he operated one of the 17 gins in Lockhart, which was located behind the home site.  Part of the structure still stands on Fir Street.   The white carriage house east of the home was converted into a house for his daughter, Alma, when she married.
