Tayloe House, 18th-century house in Williamsburg, Virginia, United States

The Tayloe House is an 18th-century house on E. Nicholson Street, just east of Queen Street in Williamsburg, Virginia. It was built between 1752 and 1759 and restored in 1950–1951 by Colonial Williamsburg.

The house was built between 1752 and 1759 on E. Nicholson Street, just east of Queen Street. In 1759 it was purchased by John Tayloe II, a member of the King's Council under Lord Dunmore, of the first Republic Council under Governor Patrick Henry, and of the House of Burgesses in 1774. Colonial Williamsburg restored it in 1950–1951.

The house is named for John Tayloe II, who bought it in 1759 from Dr. James Carter, a Williamsburg surgeon. Tayloe sat on the King's Council under Lord Dunmore, then on the first Republic Council under Governor Patrick Henry, and in the House of Burgesses in 1774. A 2004 replica stands in Moorestown, New Jersey.

The house stands on E. Nicholson Street, just east of Queen Street, within the restored historic area of Williamsburg. It is a private building rather than a museum, so visitors see it from the street while walking between the town's exhibition sites.

A full-scale replica of the Tayloe House was built in 2004 in Moorestown, New Jersey, far from Williamsburg. The original on E. Nicholson Street was restored in 1950–1951 by Colonial Williamsburg, the foundation that rebuilt and interprets the colonial capital.
