Hillcrest, also known as Cedar Hall,[2] is a historic two-story house at 706 Beech Street in Cochran, Georgia.
[1] It was deemed significant architecturally as a "fine example of a turn-of-the-century Neoclassical style house in Cochran."
Neoclassical features include its monumental portico, large rooms, and details in its interior, such as paneled wainscoting, built-ins, and Ionic columns and urns in stairways and room dividers.
Taylor built "Hillcrest" next door to his own home, as a wedding present for the 1910 marriage of his daughter Alice with John Augustus Walker.
[3] Dr. Virlon Griner, pastor of Cochran's First Baptist Church, began its restoration during his ownership 1970–1981.
