The David Taylor Shop

This shop represents a typical early nineteenth century from this area. It is built around a timber framework that has been mortised and pegged together, and then covered with clapboard. The side porch was added to the building when it was brought to Historic Cold Spring Village. David Taylor was a cobbler. He married Susanna Williams (born 1777), and they had three children, Whitefield, Thankful and Hammah. Whitefield's son, David, was also a cobbler, as was his son Thomas.
