Archibald Taylor House is a historic plantation house located near Wood, Franklin County, North Carolina. It was built about 1857, and is a two-story, three-bay, Italianate style frame dwelling. It rests on a full-height brick basement and has a hipped roof. The house has a center-hall plan and the front hall retains trompe-l'œil painting. It was built by noted American carpenter and builder Jacob W. Holt (1811-1880).[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]

There is reason to believe that Archibald Taylor was a slave owner - this should be reflected into his background and history - as evidenced by this article (https://zora.medium.com/my-relentless-search-to-find-my-familys-african-american-eve-2e5b40aeb0b8)
