In 1907 on the site of an old livery stable, the prominent Granbury citizen Jeff Rylee built this building. He leased it to the Gordon-Oxford furniture Company and Undertakers. The firm’s licensed mortician was a woman, Edith Oxford Gordon. The Granbury Masonic Lodge chartered in 1874 later purchased the building and continued to use the second floor for meetings for many years. Notice the Rylee name printed on the building.
