The original Taylor School was constructed in 1866 and was used until 1915. The building was later demolished and a new Taylor School was constructed on the site in 1919. At that time all students west of Main Street went to Taylor and all students east of Main Street attended the Peteetneet. The building constructed in 1919 had six classrooms. In 1919 a new addition was added to the north of the building. It consisted of four new classrooms and an auditorium that doubled as a lunchroom.
As enrollments increased in the city several new schools, Barnett, Wilson and Park View schools were added to help with the increased student load. The entire Taylor School was razed and a new Taylor School was erected on the same site a few years ago.
