Back of old, red wooden house. Two-Bit Taylor Inn with iron Texas Star, & old wagon wheel. Door open. Chestnut Square Historic Village, McKinney Texas.
Otherwise known as the ‘Two-Bit’ Taylor Inn, 25 cents bought drummers (or salesmen) a bed for the night, clothes laundered and a hot breakfast. The Inn was conveniently located next to the jockey lot by the square before it was moved to its current location. Built in 1863, Armsted Taylor paid $340 for their Salt-box style home where he and wife Tabitha Jane Scott raised their 7 children.
