The Dr. Henry Genet Taylor House and Office in Camden, New Jersey, was designed by Wilson Eyre and built in 1884, combining a physician's residence and his practice under one Queen Anne roof. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 12, 1971. As of January 2015, Rutgers University–Camden was renovating the building into a Writers House for graduate students.
the building
House and office in one. The building paired Dr. Taylor's home with his medical office, a telling arrangement for a nineteenth-century professional practice run out of a private residence.
the style
Eyre worked in the Queen Anne style here, a mode suited to exactly this kind of picturesque, asymmetrical combination of domestic and professional space, though no further detail on the specific ornament is documented.
