See Lake Forest Park as it was a hundred years ago with the Shoreline Historical Museum's home and garden tour of the Alexander H. Reid home in Lake Forest Park, on September 21, 2013.

The Alexander H. Reid house was built in 1913, shortly after Lake Forest Park opened as a North Seattle Improvement Company development.

The beautiful home, its surrounding grounds, and the 100 year-old first Lake Forest Park Schoolhouse are located on 3.5 acres of the original estate, nestled in the genteel past of the community.
