Known as Clinton Taylor, he was the son of Charles Taylor, who owned more than 100 acres of farmland, stretching (north to south) from the old river bed to where Woodbine Avenue is today, and (east to west) from West 28th Street to West 44th Street. Ezekiel Folsom purchased most of that farmland from Charles Taylor in 1835 and laid out streets and village lots that pushed the informal boundaries of both West Village and Brooklyn Village westerly. Clinton Avenue, which is part of the original Taylor Farm allotment, was named after Clinton Taylor. The above sketch was taken from his 1891 Cleveland Leader obituary. | Source: Cleveland State University, Michael Scwartz Library, Special CollectionsDownload Original File
