William Taylor Stores is a historic building in Savannah, Georgia, United States.
It is the oldest surviving structure on today's River Street, the oldest ballast-stone cotton warehouse in the country,[1] and stated by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) as being significant as an "early example of a multi-storied river embankment storage warehouse".
[4] William Taylor (1769–1840), a merchant and slave owner, was a Scottish emigrant who initially moved to South Carolina.
He was president of the Saint Andrew's Society, an organization that assisted Scottish immigrants to the United States.
Upon Taylor's death in 1840, one of the executors of his will was William Washington, the father of Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low.
