==Description and history==
The Reed House is set on the north side of Main Street (Maine State Route 161), near the eastern edge of Fort Fairfield's village center. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with asymmetrical massing characteristic of the Queen Anne style. Its prominent features include a three-story turret at the right front corner, a cross-gable roof with dormers and extended modillioned gable eaves, and a porch, supported by Colonial Revival Tuscan columns, that wraps around the front and left side. The interior of the house has high-quality Colonial Revival woodwork, including the stairway newel post and balustrade, and fireplace mantelpieces. Original doors include sections of patterned beveled glass.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Philo Reed House )〕
The house was designed by the Lewiston firm of Coombs and Gibbs, who were responsible for a number of commercial and civic buildings in Fort Fairfield. The house was built for Philo Reed, who came to Aroostook County in 1885 and established a highly successful business in the development and sale of seed potatoes. His descendants, who continue to run the business, include John H. Reed, a Governor of Maine.〔
