Wenzil Taylor Building
The two-story structure has side and rear walls of rubble limestone with a brick facade. The decorative elements of the Italianate style building features brick arches with dressed limestone keystones, recessed brick panels, and brick pilasters. The bracketed cornice on the top is a recreation added during the building's restoration in the 1980s.
It continued to house a merchandise store for most of its history, and was used as a residence before it was abandoned. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. After its restoration in the 1980s, it became a restaurant and inn.
