Continuing Veronaâs history and focusing on homes that were important to the legacy of Verona. Today, the 3.4-acre L. T. Taylor home once stood on a site that is now grown up in weeds and trees. It is a beautiful spot on 8th street in Verona.
The house was eight or nine rooms built in stages and included a two-room cookâs cabin on the lot.
Leroy T. Taylor, owner of the featured house, was born in Itawamba County on Dec. 10, 1845 (Verona was once in Itawamba County) to Col. Clark W. and Louisa J (Keys) Taylor. He was raised as a farmer and received his education in the schools of Mississippi.
