History and architectural features

Built between 1753 and 1757, this historic structure is a 2+1⁄2-story, two-bay, stone dwelling that was designed in the Georgian style. The interior features a three-part circular stairway that connects the four levels of the home. The house was built for William Parsons and later inhabited by Founding Father George Taylor (c. 1716–1781), who died there in 1781.

The house has been occupied by the George Taylor Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution since 1906.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
