The Taylor Home

1014 W. Main Street

History

This property was first deeded in 1856 and sold for $300. It was one of only four on this block according to the 1854 plat. The home still holds a similar shape to the original plat, with the exception of the two back rooms that were added later. Rick and Cathy Taylor purchased this home in 2019.

Renovations

Fortunately for the Taylors, little structural work needed to be done when they purchased the home. However,
maintaining a historic dwelling is an on-going process.

Special Features

• The primary bedroom features a hand painted mural and is the main focus of the room.

• Two living rooms offer space for family gathering; TV viewing in the first, and the other is lovingly referred to as the “girls living room” and is more for reading or conversation.
• The large back porch and multi-level garden area features soothing sights and sounds of nature.
