This estate was built in 1898 for Alan Reed,
of the successful Jacob Reed’s Sons clothing store chain in Philadelphia.
As he would do a few years later for his store at 1424 Chestnut, Reed
hired William Lightfoot Price to design his home, which shows a range of
influences, from Frank Furness (with whom Price briefly worked) to Arts
and Crafts elements. The estate was named Car-Alan (Reed’s wife was
named Carrie).
