The James E. Reynolds House, located east of Cameron off State Highway 112 in Le Flore County, Oklahoma is a castle which was built in 1911. Also known as Reynolds Castle, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1]

It is a 10-room stone castle built from stone quarried from a nearby hillside. The castle was the work of James E. Reynolds (1837–1920). Reynolds was a Confederate soldier in the American Civil War and successful entrepreneur and was in his words an '"unreconstructed Confederate."'[2]
