William D. Reynolds Carriage House – 1600 B Summit Avenue (formerly listed as 1600 block W. Jarvis Street– south side between Summit Avenue and Sunset Terrace)

1600 B Summit Avenue (formerly listed as 1600 block W. Jarvis Street-south side between Summit Avenue and Sunset Terrace), William D. Reynolds Carriage House, 1910.  Pioneer cattleman William D. Reynolds (see also CBD 65 and 149) built a large Colonial Revival home on Summit Avenue about 1904-05.  The carriage house that was built at that time burned in 1910, and was replaced by the current structure.  Although the main house was demolished in the early 1970s, the carriage house remains and has been converted into a residence. A two-story red shingle-clad building, the carriage house has a gable roof with jerkinheads and white painted wood trim.  It is a rare remnant of the grand residential neighborhood that once extended along either side of Summit Ave. on the bluffs overlooking the Trinity River.
