Elisha Taylor House
Elisha Taylor House, Renaissance Revival house in Brush Park, Detroit, US
The red brick Elisha Taylor House stands two and a half stories tall on Alfred Street, featuring a mansard roof with protruding dormers and decorative vergeboards.
Built in 1871 by architect Henry C. Koch for William H. Craig, the house was later purchased by prominent Detroit attorney Elisha Taylor in 1875.
The residence demonstrates the architectural preferences of Detroit's upper class during the Victorian era through its preserved interior features and detailed craftsmanship.

The structure maintains its original interior elements, including decorative plaster, stenciling, parquet floors, and etched glass from the post-Civil War period.
