Isaac S. Taylor
Isaac ("Ike") Stacker Taylor (31 December 1850, Nashville, Tennessee – 28 October 1917, St. Louis, Missouri) was an American architect. He was one of the most important architects in St. Louis and the midwestern United States at the turn of the twentieth century, designing commercial, residential, industrial, and governmental structures. Taylor's long career spanned nearly fifty years, the last thirty-six at the helm of his own firm during which time he worked on some 215 projects. An obituary declared that "his career...has been synchronous with the architectural progress of St. Louis...() his works...in number and importance are second to none in his city."〔"Isaac Stacker Taylor," in ''The Western Architect'' 26, no. 5 (November 1917), 36.〕 He served as Chairman of the Architectural Commission and Director of Works for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (St. Louis World's Fair) of 1904 and himself designed numerous pavilions at the fair. Taylor was still designing up until his death at age 66 several months after the United States entered the First World War.
==Early life and career, 1850–81==
Taylor was born in Nashville, Tennessee, on the last day of 1850 and moved with his parents and older brother to St. Louis a year later. He matriculated to St. Louis University and earned a degree in classical languages with honors in 1868. After graduation, he joined the firm of George I. Barnett, a Nottingham, England (UK) native, who became the most well-known architect in St. Louis during the mid-nineteenth century and himself trained several generations of local designers. Eventually Taylor rose to become Barnett's junior partner from 1876 to 1881. Taylor worked on several prominent commercial projects in St. Louis that Barnett's firm took on during this time, including the Southern Hotel, the Julie Building (which housed Barr's Department Store), and the Mercantile Center for the Famous Clothing Company. Taylor also contributed to the designs for many of Barnett's residential work, including Shaw Place.
