Description:: Lafayette Square: Dr. Taylor was one of the first African Americans to move into this upscale white neighborhood. When restrictive covenants were defeated in the California courts, there was an influx of African Americans looking for spacious, lush garden style environments to live. As members of an elite group of financially successful black men, Paul R. Williams, L. Phyromn Taylor and Claude Hudson belonged to the same private membership clubs (Pacific Town Club), served on many of the same business and governmental boards (Broadway Federal Bank) and socialized together. Hudson chose to live in the predominately African American View Park subdivision while the younger Williams and Taylor built their family homes in LaFayette Square.
