Spokane carpenter and building contractor, George W. Taylor constructed the Taylor House in 1905 in the Emerson-Garfield neighborhood in Muzzy’s Addition on “real estate speculation.” After a short two-year stay, George Taylor and his wife, Annie Taylor, sold the house at 2027 W. Shannon Ave for $1,400 and moved away from Spokane. The Taylor House serves as an excellent example of the Neoclassical Style, categorized by its tall two-story house form, hip roof, symmetrical façade and fenestration patterns, a full-width duallevel entry porch and center-gabled pediment, square tapered columns, widely overhanging eaves accentuated by a prominent modillion course, a fanlight window in the façade gable peak, a Chippendale-style balustrade, and narrow-width horizontal wood clapboard siding.
