Taylor-McClanahan-Smith House (203 College Street)

Taylor-McClanahan- Smith House - Most likely built between around 1825 by Dr William Taylor of Yorktown, VA. He served in the War of 1812 as an assistant surgeon. He was also on Oxford's first Board of Commissioners. He and his wife Frances had 14 children - no wonder the large home. In 1843 it became the home of Brig Gen William McClanahan. Four years later when his daughter married he gave her this home and moved across the street. The home changed owners several more times before being purchased in 1986 by Dorothy Armento who began a restoration of the home. In 2010 following her death, her son Tony Armento acquired the home and continued a comprehensive restoration to the property that is still ongoing today.
