Eclectic Cottage, Reynolds

This photograph dates to 2012 and the house was in a state of neglect and disrepair at the time. I haven’t been able to locate it on current street-level maps, so I don’t believe it’s still standing. It’s certainly possible that I missed it, but it didn’t look to have much of a future when I documented it.

Interestingly, there are at least two other houses of a similar design in Reynolds, so it must have been quite popular locally. This particular house looks to have originated as a Georgian Cottage, with the front section and port cochere being added later. My guess is that this was an attempt to give it a Colonial Revival appearance, which was very popular in the early 20th century.

Central of Georgia Depot, 1926, Reynolds

In 2002, this depot was renovated by architects Tribble & Richardson for use as a library. Much of the original appearance and material was retained.

Knight’s Pharmacy, Reynolds

Knight’s is a real rarity these days, an independent pharmacy in a very small town that is a center of life in the community. They also have a coffee shop and selection of hand-dipped ice cream.

 

Ferdinand A. Ricks House, 1905, Reynolds

Though built in 1905, the home of Ferdinand and Frances Ricks was completely renovated in the Georgian style by prominent Atlanta architect Charles E. Choate in the 1920s. Mr. Ricks was a partner in the family business, Ricks Brothers, which owned a general store, seed house, cotton gin, and guano enterprise.

Agricultural Warehouse, Reynolds

This was recently used as the Steel Horse Music Hall & Barbecue, a performance space/restaurant. It was obviously a warehouse in its first incarnation; it sits beside the railroad line.
