A second daughter, Theodora, arrived shortly thereafter. Both carpenter-contractors, Theodore and Andrew almost certainly worked together to build this meticulously crafted one-and-one-half-story home, where Hilda, Theodore, and family lived until 1945. The Craftsman-style residence features a low-pitched roof with wide flaring eaves and a centered dormer; the front porch is tucked beneath the main roof. The home provided a silent advertisement for the Norwegian-born brothers’ carpentry skills. Its subtle detailing includes leaded glass windows, decorative crown molding, and a wood belt separating the foundation from the tidy, lap wood siding. A lifelong bachelor, Andrew lived in a small home behind the main house until his death in 1942. Sometime after 1958, new owners replaced Andrew’s house and the Reeds’ garage with a small modern home. They were not alone: in the 1950s and 1960s, many homeowners took advantage of their neighborhood’s prime location to add a rental house on a portion of their lot.","sponsor":null,"accessinfo":"Private","lede":"","website":"","related_resources":["<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/98939ade-7ea5-4e1b-b0eb-3b850f7143da\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read about the McCormick Neighborhood Historic District</a>","<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/3287e462-81c7-4afa-ae89-f4ff86867978/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See photos of the McCormick Neighborhood Historic District</a>"],"factoids":[],"files":{"https://mail.historicmt.org/files/fullsize/5301f8cede2438521af830eed03b5af0.jpg":{"id":3080,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Reed Residence","description":"Reed Residence.
