Vanderbilt and his land agents the land on which Biltmore Village was built. It is also considered one of the largest and most elaborate Queen Anne style houses in Asheville. It has had only minor alterations and keeps its original interior fabric.","narrative":"Perched on a hill at the southeast edge of Biltmore Village in Asheville, this 1892 house at 119 Dodge Street is among the most substantial Queen Anne style residences in the city. The frame structure has irregular massing, a corner turret topped with an ogee dome, and a wrap-around porch with turned posts, curved brackets and a pediment over the steps. A large brick chimney rises from the center of the roof, and the interior remains largely intact. It was built for Samuel Harrison Reed, senior member of the law firm of Reed and Van Winkle, on land inherited from his father. Beginning in 1888 Reed sold parcels to George W. Vanderbilt, including a 100-acre tract that became the site of Biltmore Village. The house is recognized both for that link to the village's origins and for its architecture. After Reed died in 1904 it passed to his son, and it has had eight owners since 1919.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Described as having seen only minor alterations, with original interior fabric remaining.
