This square was laid out in 1734. It was the center of colonial government and was the original location for the House of Assembly, where the first reading of the Declaration of Independence took place in Georgia. Named for Georgia’s first colonial Governor, Reynolds square is one of the oldest areas of the city but many buildings have not survived to modern times due to the location of the square in the heart of the city’s present commercial district. The square started out as home to the colony’s Filature, which housed a failed experiment in Silk making. When the colony was founded there were great hopes that silk could be produced in Georgia to eliminate the need to import more costly material via the Silk Road that was established from China through Italy. Unfortunately, the cocoons of the silk worm could not mature properly in the humid Georgia climate. The Filature was converted to a meeting house, and even hosted a dance in honor of George Washington in 1791. Sadly, the building has not survived to present times.
