| Additional Information: | The Prospect Hill & Conrad Cottages Historic Districts: A Guide: "The Taylor House is a survivor of the first years of Janesville's settlement. Notable Greek Revival features are the low-pitched gable roof, returns at the cornice, and the sidelit entry. The veranda is probably a c.1900 addition. Hiram Taylor was a Janesville attorney and lived in this house until his death in 1875. Since then, it has been owned and occupied by only three families." |
