Constructed in 1901, this rectangular wood-frame building served as the Taylorsville Signal newspaper office until the late 1960s. Hattie and Marie Watkins took over the newspaper in 1930 after the death of their father, James Thomas Watkins, who had been the editor of the paper since 1905. Donated to the Town of Taylorsville in 1968, the building was converted into a museum in 1972. It is the oldest commercial building in Taylorsville.
