Images of America: North Carolina
Reynolda: 1906-1924
Reynolda—with its family home and gardens, experimental farm, village, and woodland—is an excellent example of the Country Place era. This popular destination in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, was created between 1906 and 1924 through the collaboration of three talented people: visionary Katharine Reynolds, architect Charles Barton Keen, and landscape architect Thomas W. Sears. With the financial backing of her husband, founder of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Katharine Reynolds transformed a patchwork of worn-out farmland into a landscape of great natural beauty that includes a formal garden, 16-acre lake, recreational facilities, and some of the finest cropland. The sparkling white cluster of village buildings and their occupants are also integral to this story.

Interesting read! I was drawn to this book when I toured the Reynolda House Museum of American Art in Winston Salem, NC. Before leaving, I saw this book in the gift store. I was impressed with the history of the estate and the Reynolds family positive commitment to the community and their staff, whites and blacks.
