Reynolds Family Home Pittsburg, Texas

Future home of the Reynolds Museum

I have just purchased the "Hargrove Mansion", an old Victorian Home in Pittsburg Texas, the third floor is one large room which was the Grand Ball Room.  I will be converting this room into a museum for the Reynolds Family and will be displaying any information on the family that I can get.  I will be adding pictures as the work progresses.  You can click on a picture below for a larger view.

The third floor of Hargrove Mansion was the Grand Ballroom.  This consists of a little over 800 sq. feet and for the past few years has been used as a storage room.  It has recessed windows on each side and a door leading to the third story balcony.  This area needs lots of work, but will make a wonderful museum once I'm finished. A few shots of the new Reynolds Mansion

	Shot looking directly into the front of the house from the street.  No this is not a tile roof, but the original hand rolled tin.			This gives a feel for the size of the house, to say that it is big is an understatement.
	The left side entrance and porch leads into the main family room.  The upstairs balcony is off the Master bedroom.			The right side has a carriage stop where the guest could be dropped off with an entrance into the dining room.
	Another view of the Carriage Stop.			View from the rear of the house showing the entrance into the dinning room and some of the neighbors.
	The rear of the house has a sunroom complete with hot tub and large redwood deck.			The back portion that is fenced with an 8 foot tall wood fence has grown up, but will be perfect for Gazebo and water fountain.
	There are several outdoor seating areas where you can sit under the numerous trees and enjoy the outdoors.			Another restful place to get back to nature.
	The front door leading into the hall is the original with beveled leaded glass.  It even has a small bullet hole in it from past gone days.			Stair case leading to the second floor.  All wood in the house is original and none of wood on the first floor has ever been painted including the floors.
	The family room - I sure wish they had not painted the fireplace, and the light has to go!			Another shot of the family room.  I have already restored the ceiling back to the original 15 foot.
	A shot of the Library - Anyone have any books that they want to donate?			Another view of the Library showing one of the 12 foot tall mirrors that came from a famous "house" in New Orleans.
	A Shot of the Dinning Room showing the large windows. (The red balls are NOT part of the chandelier.			Another view of the large dinning room.
	This is the main living room showing another one of the large mirrors.  They are directly across the hall from each other making quite a view.			A view of the upstairs hall and sitting room just off the upstairs balcony.
	This is the Master Bed Room.  This guy really believed in painting fireplace - and way too much of the same color.			This is one of the Guest Bed Rooms which gives a good view of the hard wood floors.
	This is a picture of a picture that was taken around 1910 showing the house. The house on the right is still there and fully restored.			I was told that this was out of Look magazine when they did an article on the house around 1928.  Sure wish I could find a copy of it.
