Reed and Stem was an
architecture firm based in
St. Paul, Minnesota. It was a partnership between
Charles A. Reed (1858–1911) and
Allen H. Stem (1856–1931). Formed in 1891, the successful partnership captured a wide range of commissions. One early work was Medical Hall on the campus of the
University of Minnesota. They were, however, most widely known for their work on railways over the course of two decades. Through Reed's relationship, by marriage, to the president of the
New York Central Railroad, they gained a high profile commission for
New York's Grand Central Terminal with the architecture firm of Warren and Wetmore, and the newly hired
Alfred T. Fellheimer as lead architect. In addition, Reed and Stem undertook many significant projects for the
Great Northern Railway and the
Northern Pacific Railway. After Reed's death, Stem continued to practice with Fellheimer until his retirement in 1920.
