Marker Text: ​Erected 1873-79 by merchant Sanford Taylor as a simple, two-story pink brick residence, this house acquired its grand manner after sale (1912) to P.G. and Eva Carter Taylor. The Taylors made basic architectural changes, adding north wing and portico with handsome French doors, fan lights with fine tracery, and other embellishments.  
     Purchased in 1957 for Waco Council of Garden Clubs, this is now the Nell Pape Garden Center. (1963)
