Bulleit Building

Bulleit Building. . This Italianate structure is another Corydon building constructed in 1894 by the Bulleit family. Originally, the Bulleit Building was part of the V.H Bulleit and Sons implement and carriage showroom. Over the years, many businesses were located here. George Hill's House of Shoes and Style Shop was located here in the 1960s. In 1968, Marvin Reynolds, who was only sixteen years old at the time, opened the M.D. Reynolds Saddlery and Western Wear Store. The young man created an iconic Chestnut Street landmark when he imported a fiberglass horse from Billings, Montana and placed it on top of the store's front porch. The store operated until 1979 when Hugh and Evelyn Jackson opened the Montgomery Ward Store on the first floor. Throughout those years, the local Indiana License Bureau office operated upstairs. Later a pet store, All About Pets, was located here. In later years the building was acquired by Larry W. Bennett LLC. In 2013, Sherry Watson, in honor of her late husband Kent Watson, opened the KentJava Bar here., (caption) The Bulleit Building, adjacent to the V.H.
