History

The house was built in 1895 for Colonel Robert Z. Taylor, an attorney.[2] By the end of the American Civil War in 1864, Taylor joined the Confederate States Army and served as a colonel.[2] He served as the clerk and master of Gibson County's Chancery Court in the late 1880s, and he helped build the Gibson County Courthouse in Trenton.[2] He was also active in the Democratic Party as the chairman of its Gibson County committee.[2] The house was sold out of the Taylor family shortly after his death in 1922.[2]
