Philip Christian Gottlieb Reuter (5 September 1717 – 30 December 1777) was a German architect.
He became an influential member of the Moravian community in the Wachovia Tract of today's North Carolina by developing the appearance of towns and the usage of land.
Shortly after arriving, he designed the Sun Inn, and also laid out the town plan of Lititz.
[2] Within two years, he had moved south to Bethabara, Province of North Carolina, and set about surveying the near-100,000 acres (40,000 ha) of the Wachovia Tract.
[2] In 1759, Reuter laid out the town plan of Bethania, and played a major role in the layout of today's Old Salem.
