Taylor Hotel Legacy Stretches Back To 1753 In Virginia
The site on Loudoun Street has housed a hotel since 1753 when McGuire's Tavern was built by Edward McGuire. It served as a War of 1812 headquarters and hosted figures like Daniel Webster. The Taylor Hotel era followed after 1846 with notable proprietors, later serving as a hospital during the Civil War and finally becoming a store now occupied by McCrory Store.
