Col. Richard P. Taylor House is a historic plantation complex and national historic district located near Huntsboro, Granville County, North Carolina. The plantation house was built about 1835, and is a tall two-story, five-bay, transitional Federal / Greek Revival style frame dwelling. It has a one-story rear ell, exterior end chimneys, and a full-height brick basement. The house is nearly identical to that built by Col. Richard Taylor's half-brother, the Archibald Taylor Plantation House. Also on the property are the contributing early mortise and tenon smokehouse, a pigeon house or tobacco packhouse, an air-cure tobacco barn, a frame corn crib, and two log tobacco barns.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
