It is also presented as the best representation of the career of Colonel Joseph Taylor, a judge, congressman, businessman and civic leader in Cambridge.","narrative":"Built in 1878 on Upland Road in Cambridge, Ohio, this three-story frame house was designed by architect Samuel Hannaford for Colonel Joseph Taylor. It has about 9,000 square feet of living space, a multi-gabled slate roof, a stone foundation and wood siding. Half-timbered gables, spindlework, oriel and bay windows, and a porte-cochere give it the irregular, ornamented look of Stick and Queen Anne design. Inside are oak pocket doors, a three-story oak staircase, stained glass transoms and eleven gas fireplaces with decorated mantels. Taylor was a judge, congressman, banker and the largest commercial property holder in Guernsey County, and he shaped Cambridge's business and civic life. The house was divided into apartments in the 1960s and 1970s, then restored beginning in 1999, including repainting based on the original colors. Today it serves as a bed and breakfast. It was listed for its Victorian architecture and its link to Taylor's career.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Samuel Hannaford (designer)","architectural_style":"Late Victorian: Stick-Eastlake, Queen Anne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Currently operates as the Colonel Taylor Inn Bed & Breakfast and as the owners' residence; it was divided into apartments in the 1960s and 1970s and extensively renovated from 1999.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:07.446713-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/08000801.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000801/155b801e92-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000801/155b801e92-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"Bwsmith84 (talk).","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Colonel_Joseph_Taylor_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Bwsmith84 (talk).</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Colonel_Joseph_Taylor_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71988802","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonel_Joseph_Taylor_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5148147"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/guernsey-county/taylor-colonel-joseph-house-08000801/"}
