About Isaac S. Taylor
- Isaac ("Ike") Stacker Taylor (31 December 1850, Nashville, Tennessee – 28 October 1917, St.
- Louis, Missouri) was an American architect.

- Louis and the midwestern United States at the turn of the twentieth century, designing commercial, residential, industrial, and governmental structures.
- Taylor's career spanned nearly 50 years, the last 36 at the helm of his own firm, and some 215 projects.
