Historical Timeline
1867
John R. Reynolds (1831-1893) built this amazing home in 1867. Back then it was surrounded by farmland. He lived here with his wife Jane (aka Jennie) McCoy Reynolds, children Charles, Harry, Thomas and Gertrude, two servant girls and a driver of his carriage team. J.R. was a director of the Merchants National Bank and Fireman’s Insurance Company before his death in 1893. The estate was valued at $50,000 in 1870, the equivalent of $1,150,000 today.
WWII-Era
The mansion was divided into a 15-unit apartment to address the housing shortage in Dayton during World War II.

1975-1978

A HUD loan helped her replace all the electrical, heating infrastructure and plumbing, the vandalized woodwork, and more than twelve stolen marble mantels.

Poor Joyce Stremel, to have restored the house so well, only to see it vandalized. I’m so glad it sold. Hopefully, it will get the TLC and productive future it deserves.
