The Moses J. Taylor House, also known as the Dreamspinner Bed and Breakfast Inn, is a historic home in Eustis, Florida that has been operated as a bed and breakfast since about 1997. It was built in about 1881 as a two-and-a-half-story private home with elements of Italianate architecture. It was on a large property surrounded by citrus groves of the Taylor family until the land was split off for residential subdivisions built in the 1950s and 1960s.^[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. The property then included four non-contributing structures in addition to the one contributing building.^[1]^[2]

Moses J. Taylor was involved in the incorporation of Eustis as a town and served as its first town clerk.^[2]

Italianate elements of the house include a cornice with decorative brackets, chamfered columns on its wraparound porch, and pedimented windows and doors. Its gable ends include jig-sawn truss work that is described as Gothic Revival in style.^[2]
