The Percy Reynolds House is located on Block 1; Lot 2 on Telegraph Hill at 116 West First Street.
Captain Charles Tibbets owned the property and transferred it to Malcom Campbell in 1894. Campbell retained ownership until Martha McKinnon obtained the property in 1915. In 1936 Percy Reynolds purchased the lot from the McKinnon Investment .Company.
Throughout the site's recorded history, no buildings nor improvements were listed on Lot 2 until Reynolds constructed the current building in 1936 (City of Juneau 1901-1951).
Percy Reynolds, a chef, came to Juneau from Ketchikan and opened a liquor store and restaurant on Front Street (Reynolds 1983). Today, Southeastern Newspaper Corporation owns the Percy Reynolds House.
