A house still standing but remodeled endlessly away from architect Myron Hunt's original design, 121 Fremont Place was commissioned by movie-industry promoter Walter J. Reynolds for a deeper-than-usual lot on what was at the time variously referred to as Westerly Drive. Still with a deceptively narrow façade, the house's original dimensions were 28 by 134 feet. The Department of Buildings issued a construction permit to Reynolds—acting as his own contractor—on August 2, 1921. By 1928, Walter Reynolds had moved to 322 South Plymouth Boulevard in Windsor Square. Among later owners of 121 Fremont Place was construction executive Benjamin Perry Griffith.
