At that time the house passed to Little Bob Taylor. In 1949 he was appointed a United States Federal Judge and while the family moved to Knoxville they retained ownership of the "old home place." Taylor eventually became the senior U.S. District Judge and ruled on a number of landmark cases, including the 1957 Clinton High School (Anderson County) desegregation case. It was the country's first test of the racial integration rulings of the Supreme Court's Brown vs. The Board of Education. Justice Warren Burger said of Taylor, I regarded him as one of the finest, ablest and fairest judges in the country."
