Taylor Hall, Greek Revival mansion in Hawkinsville, United States.
Taylor Hall is a two-part house of 1825 combining Greek Revival and "Plantation Plain" elements, the oldest house in Pulaski County. Its walls hold the original wainscoting and hand-hewn pine planks, and it stands at the end of a private drive with no good view from public property.
Dr. Robert Newsom Taylor had Taylor Hall built in 1824 using Creek Indian labor, on the banks of the Ocmulgee River in old Hartford. In 1836 the house was dismantled and ferried across the river to its present site. It weathered Yankee encampments, marauding gypsies and a period of neglect, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
The name Taylor Hall comes from Dr. Robert Newsom Taylor, the physician who had the house built in 1824 with Creek Indian labour. The Greek Revival and "Plantation Plain" elements, together with the original wainscoting and hand-hewn pine planks, are the features a visitor can still pick out. The house is a private residence today.
