Dogwood
1905
404 South St E
This neo-classical revival mansion was commissioned by local banker "Poley" Reynolds to replicate on a smaller scale another Reynolds home, "Mount Ida." In 1939 the house was adapted from neo-classical to colonial, and after "mount Ida" burned in the 1950's, wood from an outbuilding was used to build a den addition, making it the "oldest room in the house."
