The Clark Mansion, 2112 West Lake Drive Construction on the Clark mansion was begun in 1876 and completed almost two years later by Crawford H. booth, a Union officer in the Civil War. "Cap" booth was a founder of the Taylor national bank and the 5t. James Episcopal Church and the donor of 30 acres for the Taylor Fair Association where a popular race track drew horse and buggy racers from all over the country. The booth's daughter Bessie and her husband Lycurgus Nelson continued the tradition of horse racing and training. John and Eunice Clark purchased the home in 1958 where they raised their family and were noted for their entertaining. Daughter Sherry Clark Nichols now owns the home which is available for special events. With its distinctive dome, the Clark Mansion is a landmark in Taylor and features Louisiana long leaf pine and black ebony in its staircase, woodwork and parquet floors. Stained and beveled glass highlight the windows.
