STAMFORD — The 1890 house on Taylor Street is a glimpse into Stamford's past. Originally designed for two families, the Queen Anne-style house was one of a row built on the West Side to accommodate mostly Irish immigrants who worked as servants in nearby mansions, on the railroad or in local factories. The houses aren't lavish, but they provided opportunity for new residents looking to make Stamford their home, influential preservationist Renee Kahn wrote in a May 1991 memo.
