<br />(Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity)
<br />The Taylor House is architecturally signitrcant as an intact example of a Tudor Revival-style building in Floral Park. According to the
<br />original building permit, dated September 14, 1926, the residence and garage were constructed for Wesley A. Taylor for a cost of
<br />$10,000. Taylor, a mortgage loan broker, and his wife Alice owned and occupied the residence from the time it was constructed
<br />until the late 1930s. By 1940, the home was owned by Dana Bernard Robinson, the owner of Robinson Beauty Supply (located on
<br />West Fifth Street in Santa Ana), and his wife Lillis. City directories indicate that ownership had shifted again by 1947, by which time
<br />Wilbur Barr, president of the Barr Lumber Company, and his wife Josephine had purchased the home. The Barrs remained in the
<br />house until at least the early 1960s.
