John F. Reynolds, usually known as J.F. Reynolds, was an architect of Sioux City, Iowa[1] and Lincoln, Nebraska.[2][3] He designed schools and courthouses. Several of his works have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) for their architecture.
One of his salient works is the Perkins County Courthouse, built during 1926–27, which has been described as a "fine example" of County Citadel design, with Classical Revival architecture elements. It was designed by Reynolds to include stone pilasters that were changed to brick to reduce costs; the courthouse contract finally approved was for $126,000. It was listed on the NRHP for its architecture and its history.[1]
From a 1933 lawsuit involving farm land in Texas, it is known that Reynolds was considering a move from Iowa to Texas in 1930–31, but failed to find professional work there.[4]
