Luella Garvey House, Colonial Revival residence in Reno, United States.
The Luella Garvey House features French Regency design elements, ornamental iron railings, and an elaborate entry staircase spread across three city lots.
Built in 1934 at a cost of $40,000, this property marked the first Nevada commission for African American architect Paul Revere Williams.
The residence represents a significant advancement for diversity in architecture as it was designed by Williams, the first Black member of the American Institute of Architects.
The property maintains its original architectural elements while incorporating modern updates, making it an excellent study subject for architectural preservation techniques.
The house includes a master suite with a vine-covered porch connected to a brick-paved courtyard, integrating indoor and outdoor living spaces.
