Tayloe House has faced E. Nicholson Street since 1759, an 18th-century home in Williamsburg, Virginia. It sits on E. Nicholson Street just east of Queen Street, the same lane the house has faced since it was built from 1752 to 1759. In 1759 the house was purchased by John Tayloe II.
Dr. James Carter is named as the resident surgeon of Williamsburg. John Tayloe II was an influential member of the King’s Council under Lord Dunmore and of the first Republic Council under Governor Patrick Henry; he was also a member of the House of Burgesses in 1774. Colonial Williamsburg restored the house in 1950–1951, and a replica of the house was built in 2004 in Moorestown, New Jersey.
This site records a construction from 1752 to 1759, a restoration in 1950–1951, and a replica built in 2004. Notice the chronology settled into this house — 18th-century origins, a mid-20th-century restoration, and even a 21st-century replica — then the street signs down E. Nicholson toward Queen Street.
