125 East 65th Street In 1904, Charles A. Platt, created a four-story neo-Federal residence for Dr. Frederic S. Reed that features a Flemish bond brick facade with stone trim. Platt also designed 47 & 49 East 65th Street for the Roosevelts (FDR) as well as the Astor Court apartments for the Astors. Dr. Freed was a noted physiologist who helped establish Columbia University's Department of Physiology and whose researches included the role of the inner ear in maintaining equilibrium as well as the physiology of muscles. He was also the president of the New York Botanical Society between 1923 and 1927 while his wife, Laura Billings Lee, was a member of the council of the Charity Organization Society and the Board of Trustees of the Russell Sage Foundation. In 1944, the house was sold to publishing legend, Henry R. Luce, who gifted it to the China Institute through a foundation established in memory of his father, Henry Winters Luce, a former missionary and educator in China. It remained the Institutes home until its sale in 2014. In 2017, it was the site of the Kips Bay Designers Showhouse and Holiday House in 2019.

Finally, the fifth floor is currently configured as four rooms, one with a wood burning fireplace and a powder room. The building's mechanicals are located in the cellar.
