Taggart House
432 NE Jackson Street | |
This one-story Bungalow was built around 1908 and is significant because of its nearly original appearance. In addition to a bell-cast, hipped roof with dormer window, boxed cornice and wide frieze, the house also features a bay window on the west elevation, a leaded glass window at the porch, beveled glass in the front door and a turned column supporting the roof over the porch.
George Taggart was a carpenter by profession and it is possible that he was this house's builder. Taggart lived here with his wife Minnie and children Lawrence and Belle. In 1923, Taggart became partners with J. H. Riggs in a real estate firm. Their company also handled loans and insurance and was located in the Washington Hotel, one of the most prominent buildings in Hillsboro at the time.
George Taggart may have also built the neighboring house at 420 NE Jackson Street, as it was erected around the same time and is similar in style.
