Luella Garvey House, Colonial Revival residence in Reno, United States.

The Luella Garvey House is a Colonial Revival residence with French Regency elements at 589–599 California Avenue in Reno, Nevada. Architect Paul Revere Williams designed it, and construction was completed in 1934. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

The house was built in 1934 and marks a first important architectural commission in Nevada. Its construction shows a turning point in local architectural history.

The house is the earliest Reno commission of Paul Revere Williams (1894–1980), the first African-American admitted to the American Institute of Architects. He designed more than 15 works in Nevada. The 1934 house mixes Colonial Revival forms with French Regency details, a combination visitors can read in its facade.

The house stands at 589-599 California Avenue in Reno, on a corner site. It is a private residence, so visiting means viewing the exterior from the public street; the entry staircase and iron railings are visible from the sidewalk. The National Register listing dates from 2004.

The house connects interior and exterior spaces through a clever system of transitions and courtyards. This spatial arrangement was uncommon for residences in this region when it was designed.
