Philip McDuffie House (1922) Hentz, Reid & Adler, a "Neel Reid" Part 2 of 2
We don't know how much is Neel Reid, how much is Hentz, Reid & Adler, how much is not. Away from the big public rooms things get less Neel Reid-y don't you think? Brown marble floors for example, don't harmonize with the front rooms, not to my eye anyway.
I think there have been many, many layered additions and alterations since Reid's original design. Someone was into projecting "high style" Italian onto the Georgian foundation. Sigh.
