Taylor Springs, also known as Taylor Springs Mill, is a historic home located near Harrisonburg, Rockingham County, Virginia. It was built about 1850, and is a two-story, five-bay, brick I-house dwelling with a gable roof. Significant additions were made to the dwelling and the front porch reconstructed in the 1940s. Also on the property are the limestone spring house (1940); a frame office or kitchen that has an exterior end chimney; and a relocated frame storage shed that used to be the kitchen wing to the house.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
