Thomas S. Reid, son of Governor David S. Reid, commissioned the house from J. M. Walker & Co. as the family home, and the governor and his wife moved in later that year. The facades feature a centered entrance with etched glass, a sawnwork porch railing, and bracketed eaves. Inside, the house is largely unaltered, with plaster cornices, ceiling medallions, and an inlaid marble mantel in the parlor. Governor David S. Reid served as state senator, congressman, governor, and United States senator, and is chiefly remembered for sponsoring the elimination of the property qualification for senatorial suffrage. The house is his only surviving residence and remains in family hands, with many of his personal effects, including his library, still inside.","period_of_significance":"1881","architect_builder":"J.
