ABOUT OUR HISTORIC INN:  established 1994, Market Street Inn Bed & Breakfast, 220 East Market Street, Taylorville IL 62568. This premiere Victorian property is a George Franklin Barber design number 143, built in 1892, with 7,100 square feet on 3 levels.  In 1993 this property was acquired by Joe & Myrna Hauser when they returned to their hometown to create a bed & breakfast.  After 3 decades, the Hauser’s have decided to downsize and offer just 2 rooms in the carriage house.  The main house will be their private home.  

Experience of small town living—walk 2 blocks to the historic town square to shop and dine.    

CARRIAGE HOUSE:  220 South Pawnee Street was acquired in 2003 to add 2 more suites to the B&B.   Again extensive restoration and renovation made possible 2 more high-end suites for guests to experience and enjoy a stay in what was once for the horses and carriage.   Today modern amenities include fiber optic wi-fi, cable TV, air conditioning, jetted tub and so forth.

HUNT CLUB suite in carriage house (pictured above) is one of our most popular suites—available year-round, two night minimum, private entrance with keyless entry, over 500 sq ft.  Amenities include king bed, ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower & double jetted tub, kitchenette, 2 fireplaces (and central heat), private patio, off-street parking and other welcoming features.  Fiber optic Wi-fi and smart TV.
