sources and notes

[edit]
  • The Lincoln Evening Journal (Lincoln, Nebraska), Friday, April 25, 1941, Page 15. has coverage of some work by Reynolds, with Google snippet: "... plans and specifications for said work as prepared by J. F. Reynolds, Architect", but source [1] is not open source.
  • Similar about work for the Lincoln board of education [2] with Google snippet: "NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Jan. 23—J. F. Reynolds, Lincoln architect, has been engaged by the Nebraska City board of education to complete plans for a...". --doncram 20:04, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Nebraska State Historical Society's 1990 study of county courthouses in Nebraska lists Reynolds as "J.E. Reynolds" of Sioux City, Iowa. ("National Register of Historic Places Multiple Property Documentation: County Courthouses of Nebraska, 1854-1941" (PDF). {{cite web}}: Cite has empty unknown parameter: |1= (help), perhaps only readable in MSIE). The "E." was apparently incorrect in this initial survey leading to numerous NRHP listings. Searches on "J.E. Reynolds architect" yield nothing. --doncram 21:27, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • New Castle Herald article from New Castle, Pennsylvania, of Tuesday, May 24, 1921, has Google snippet "DEEDS RECORDED J. F. Reynolds to A. W. Reyn olds, 4th ward $6 604. ... The architects of the Sioux City courthouse have applied this "Form and Function"", possibly unrelated.

District Engineer, Iowa Highway Commission

[edit]

Was architect J.F. Reynolds previously a district engineer handling gravel road construction?

RS&H, Florida architects

[edit]

John F. Reynolds may well be the "R" in RS&H architects of Florida, a partnership formed in 1941, see Company History, RS&H. It makes sense that with America joining World War II, Reynolds would turn to supporting the war effort. --doncram 21:10, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
