This house served as a residence for its builders, Ed and Clotilde Keylick Bastian (married May 12, 1866).  Ed was one of the directors of Bastrop Turn Verein (a.k.a. turnverein), in the 1870s, a club modeled after European social clubs.  Ed Bastian owned Ed Bastian and Son Tin and Hardware .  House is built of heart pine purchased from J. S. Wilbarger’s lumber yard in Bastrop and assembled with square iron nails, reinforced at each corner with iron braces.  Ceilings are 12 feet high and all ceilings are paneled with beaded wood.  Wide red hearts of pine upstairs floorboards were noted as still visible in 1973.  Porches are embellished with “jigsaw gingerbread,” pine columns and balusters of wrought iron.  The house was built with local labor although the front hall as a circular stairway, built by a carpenter from Chicago, with rails and spindles made of walnut.  Below the kitchen floor is a jug-shaped cistern.  The style is Victorian informal, an asymmetrical design, with clapboard siding.
