Built in 1906 when style and comfort were a given! Beautifully restored and updated with all the charm of yesteryear and the comforts of today's world. The Taylor-Bradley House. Neo-classical revival style house built in 1906 for Leonidas Braxton Taylor (1865-1944), plumbing contractor; and wife, Gertrude Ford Taylor (1879-1970). Purchased in 1921 by Sarah Jessie Bradley (1856-1938) and sons Marshall P. Bradley (1896-1969) and Linwood E. Bradley (1893-1981), engineer with Southern Railway. Property remained in the Bradley family for sixty years. The property was purchased in 2000 and underwent ten years of extensive renovation and upgrading, while keeping with the character of the original home. Glass door knobs, coffered ceilings, extensive trim work and built-ins, and hardwood floors throughout work hand-in-hand with the modern kitchen, new master suite, and energy-efficient upgrades, including spray foam insulation, conditioned attic, tankless water heater, and dual-zone heating and air. Extensive landscaping and separate garden area compliment the historic home's character as one of North Downtown's fine homes.
