Craig, a local lawyer, land speculator, and president of the Detroit Board of Trade.[4] The architects were Koch & Hess of Milwaukee and Detroit.[5] In 1875,[8] Craig sold the house to attorney Elisha Taylor.[9] Taylor was a Detroit attorney who held many offices during his career, including City Attorney,[9] assistant Michigan Attorney General from 1837 to 1841, and Circuit Court Commissioner from 1846 to 1854.[8] DescriptionThe Elisha Taylor House is two-and-a-half stories tall, made of red brick on a rough stone foundation.[6] The structure is an eclectic mix of Gothic and Tudor Revival with elements of other styles, including Queen Anne and Italianate.[6] The house has a high mansard roof[9] with large protruding dormers and unusual vergeboarding at the peak.[6] It is one of the best examples surviving in Detroit of post-Civil War residential design.[7] Current useSince 1981, the structure has been used as a center for art and architectural study. The interior has been well preserved, boasting original fireplaces, mirrors, woodwork, decorative plaster, stenciling, Mintons floor tiles, parquet floors, and etched glass.[3] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|2008a}} {{commons category|Elisha Taylor House}}2. ^1 {{cite web|title=Taylor, Elisha, House |publisher=Michigan State Housing Development Authority |url=http://www.mcgi.state.mi.us/hso/sites/16409.htm |accessdate=September 3, 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120517132957/http://www.mcgi.state.mi.us/hso/sites/16409.htm |archivedate=May 17, 2012 |df= }} 3. ^1 Art House 4. ^{{cite book |last=Martelle |first=Scott |year=2014 |url=https://books.google.it/books?id=fM_FAgAAQBAJ&dq |title=Detroit: A Biography |publisher=Chicago Review Press |isbn=1613730691 |page=61}} 5. ^Pajot, Dennis.
