Built circa 1841 by Walter Taylor on Commerce Street in Jackson, the Taylor House was moved in 1985 from its original site to make way for a new City Hall Complex, then brought to its present site and restored as the Leroy Branch of the Washington County State Bank. Walter Taylor, who lived from 1817 to 1886, was the son of Daniel Taylor, one of the original commissioners of the town of Jackson in 1816. He became a prominent attorney, farmer, and merchant and, with his wife Amanda Caroline Lankford Taylor, founded the Jackson Methodist Church in 1842.
