Douglas B. Taylor, partner in the jewelry firm of Dietz and Taylor, purchased this house in 1924 from J.A. Moretz for $6,000. Moretz had acquired the property in 1922 from Amzi A.

Sometime in the late 1930s Taylor sold the house to Van Buren McMillen, an accountant, and he resided there at least until 1950.
