Located on the corner of Allegheny and Linn Streets, the Reynolds Mansion was built in 1883 and 1884 by Major William F Reynolds.  The building is primarily in Queen Anne style, with towers and overall asymmetry, but with Gothic Revival tones in the use of stone, steeply-pitched roofs, and gables, and Italianate influences in the tall, narrow windows and the prominent eave brackets.  The interior features ornate fireplaces, parquet floors, and stained glass windows.  Later, the house became the home of Col. W Fred Reynolds, who was instrumental in locating the Diamond wooden match company in Bellefonte.  Once a church, it fell into disrepair but was restored by private owners, and more recently has been turned into into a very popular bed and breakfast.
