The Mollie Fontaine Taylor House was built in 1886 as a wedding gift from her father, Noland Fontaine Sr., upon her marriage to Dr. William Wood Taylor. It was built across the street from the Fontaine home. Mollie and William lived with her parents until the Victorian house was finished in 1890. Mollie lived in the house until her death.
The home is modest compared to the remaining homes in the Victorian Village. Located on Adams Avenue, the street was once known as Millionaire’s Row because of the number of palatial homes on it. In the 1960s, it became a notorious party house. It is now the Mollie Fontaine Lounge.
