Experience timeless luxury. Located in Newport, KY, 5 minutes away from downtown Cincinnati, the Taylor Mansion is the ultimate status symbol. Benjamin Henry Latrobe, renowned for designing the United States Capitol and the entrances to the White House, played a significant role in designing the Taylor Mansion.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the mansion was originally built in 1837 and is the oldest home in the Newport historic district.
The mansion was rebuilt in 1845 after a fire burned Taylor's original home to the ground during a slave rebellion.
Taylor owned an estimated 40-50 slaves at the time of his death in 1848. Ironically, the mansion was used as an Underground Railroad safe house after his death.
The mansion, which sold for just over $1 million in 2022, has about $1.4 million in upgrades, according to the most recent listing from Robinson Sotheby's International Realty.
Upgrades include heated floors in the primary bathroom, inoperable fireplaces converted to gas, and new HVAC systems.
The mansion has six bedrooms, three full baths, and two half-baths with Italian marble surfaces. It features stained-glass windows, detailed millwork, and moldings, more than 17-foot-high ceilings on the first floor, and a grand staircase.
