The Pavilion Hotel
Built by Herman Carter in 1887 in anticipation of the arrival of the railroad, the railroad never came. The town of Taylor is notable however because of all the plywood cut-outs of people in the town known as Villagers. The life-sized people cut-outs are painted in black and white and made to look like people who would have lived worked, and played in the town between 1890 and 1920 when Taylor was at its peak. The cutouts were made by a local artist in response to the towns dwindling population. (Taylor Nebraska)
