Historic Ellicott Properties
was founded in 1972 by Isaac and Irving Taylor along with Samuel Caplan to
help revitalize commercial and residential properties in the historic
district of Ellicott City. Isaac built the Taylor’s Furniture Store prior to
selling it in 1943 as he was also operating Taylor Manor Hospital. Bruce
Taylor, Isaac’s grandson and Irving’s son has been operating the company
since 1979 and is now President. The company’s restoration efforts have been
recognized by the Howard County
government and the local Ellicott City Historic Society with an award for
the splendid renovation of the Main Street Herb Shop just above Caplan’s
Department Store.
Historic Ellicott Properties extensively renovated the Rosenstock Property
in the mid 1980’s. At this time both the interior and exterior of the
buildings were totally restored and repaired while the façade uniting the
structures with a unified false front was left unchanged. The November 1999
fire which destroyed the property is believed to have started from a
cigarette discarded in the alley behind the building. The exterior wood
siding along with a gas leak from the adjoining structure contributed to the
structure’s loss despite the sprinkler system inside. Fortunately, there was
no loss of life or serious injury to anyone in the fire.
The new, fully sprinklered, steel and concrete structure at 8095 Main Street
has been built by Old Town Construction Company under the direction of
Jared Spahn. The building was designed by the late architect Greg Mitchell
following details from the original historic building. The design
inspiration for the iron work on the balconies of the new building comes
from an old photograph of the original structure. Our astute Property
Manager, Jesse Krauch, found the picture in the basement of another of our
buildings, and realized its importance to our restoration efforts after the
fire. The third floor offers two luxury apartments while the first and
second floors are retail.
