A lighter was found in Taylor's pocket, the report said.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded and extinguished the fire, which was found in the kitchen area.
Investigators later determined it to be an arson.
Bob Graham lived in the home years before he went on to become the governor of Florida and later a U.S. Senator.
The home is on Miami-Dade County's list of designated historic sites, and not open to the public.
