Reynolds in Stamford, Jones County, Texas, built in late 1927 by local contractor E.D. Jones for Dr. E.P. Bunkley.","why_significant":"The house is an example of the large dwellings built by Stamford's more affluent citizens during the town's first decades of growth. It was also the home of Dr. E.P. Bunkley, an early pioneer and civic leader who was elected mayor in 1933 and 1935 during the Depression.","narrative":"Built in late 1927, this two-story buff brick house at 1034 E. Reynolds in Stamford was constructed for Dr. E.P. Bunkley by local contractor E.D. Jones. Bunkley bought what was described as a modern two-story brick house for $10,000. Although not Prairie Style in the strictest sense, it shows strong horizontal styling: emphasized mortar joints, panels of ornamental brick between second-story windows, soldier courses at the rooflines, triple window sets and long concrete window boxes. A steeply hipped red-tile roof with boxed eaves tops the house, and flat-roofed porches rest on massive square brick columns. A detached double garage with an upstairs apartment repeats the main house's features and counts as a contributing building. The property is significant as an example of housing for Stamford's more affluent residents and as the home of Bunkley, an early pioneer and civic leader who served as mayor in 1933 and 1935 during the Depression. It sits on a corner lot in an older residential neighborhood.","period_of_significance":"1927","architect_builder":"E.D.
