Gallery of pictures of buildings he designed edit

It would be useful to add a gallery of pictures of buildings he designed at the bottom of the page. I will see if I can find the right pictures on Wikimedia Commons...Zigzig20s (talk) 07:18, 18 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Content Plagiarizing edit

Hi editor @Atlpedia:. Please note that in the first paragraph in the Career Section is copy-pasted an archived MIT article, ″From 'Tech' to Tuskegee: The Life of Robert Robinson Taylor,1868-1942.″ A shortened and republished version can be found here, https://www.blackhistory.mit.edu/story/robert-r-taylor Please make necessary changes to the text.

"Taylor's first building project on the Tuskegee University campus was the Science Hall (Thrasher Hall) completed in 1893.[1][2] The new Science Hall was constructed entirely by students, using bricks made also by students under Taylor's supervision.[2] The project epitomized Washington's philosophy of instilling in Tuskegee students, the descendants of former enslaved Africans, the value and dignity of physical labor and it provided an example to the world of the capabilities of African Americans in the building trades, and it underscored the larger potential of the manual training curricula being developed at Tuskegee."
