| Description | The Samuel Harrison Reed house, a massive Queen Anne style frame residence, is a rare and little altered remnant of the grand lifestyle associated with the seat of a pre-Biltmore country estate. One of the largest and finest houses in Victorian period Buncombe County, the Reed house was built on a hilltop overlooking the village of Best by Samuel Harrison Reed, a wealthy local attorney who represented the George W. Vanderbilt estate and Chimney Rock, Incorporated. |
