Dr Peter Reynolds OAM is an architectural historian and author. He obtained a Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1969 at the University of New South Wales, followed by a doctorate in Architectural History in 1974. He lectured at the University from 1972 until his retirement in 1991, also serving as director of the Architectural History Research Unit and course co-ordinator for the degree of Master of the Built Environment. His research interests include changes in the built environment of Sydney's inner-west suburbs Leichhardt, Balmain and Annandale and a life-long study of the Canadian-born architect John Horbury Hunt, giving rise to the formation of the Horbury Hunt Club by Reynolds in 1989. A founding editor of the Leichhardt Historical Journal, he has contributed many articles for this and other publications, including the Australian Dictionary of Biography and Dictionary of Sydney. He is also author or co-author of several books on Australian architecture, Balmain, Leichhardt and John Horbury Hunt.
