They include houses from the late 1790s and early 1800s that may lie within Thomas Taylor's early subdivision of the mill village, plus later nineteenth-century houses and farm outbuildings tied to the milling settlement.","narrative":"Taylorstown is a small rural hamlet straddling Catoctin Creek in northern Loudoun County, about two miles from the Potomac River. This boundary increase adds just over eighteen acres and five properties to the existing historic district, bringing it to roughly seventy-nine acres. The properties are houses at 12995 Hoysville Road (circa 1790), 12969 Taylorstown Road (circa 1800, later altered in Gothic Revival style), 13090 Taylorstown Road (circa 1860), 13122 Furnace Mountain Road (circa 1880) and 13000 Hoysville Road (1988, noncontributing). Associated outbuildings include sheds, stables, a corncrib, a barn, a stone well and chicken houses. The two earliest houses west of the creek were built when Thomas Taylor was dividing his land around the mill into small lots, an early planned development from which the village took its name. The added resources share the social and architectural history of the original district and retain sufficient integrity to justify the expansion.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Gothic Revival; I-house; other vernacular wood-frame dwellings","criteria":[],"status_note":"Properties are in current use as single dwellings with secondary structures; the boundary increase includes 15 contributing and 6 noncontributing resources.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:02.899706-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/75/6815/41681575/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/05000474.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05000474/c164316510-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05000474/c164316510-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Acroterion","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Taylorstown_HD_VA1.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Acroterion</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Taylorstown_HD_VA1.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"78003027","name":"Taylorstown Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/virginia/taylorstown-historic-district-78003027/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41681575","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylorstown_Historic_District_(Taylorstown,_Virginia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7690262"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/loudoun-county/taylorstown-historic-district-boundary-increase-05000474/"}
