Born: c. 1/27/1856, Died: 12/1943 Born in New York City to Edward Briggs and Matilda Lavinia (Hagthrop) Stead, Robert Stead was educated at the City College of New York from 1872 to 1876. According to his 1939 entry in Who's Who, he then went to Paris to study in the Atelier DeMonclos. He began his practice in Washington, DC, in 1884, and he was architect for the Metzerott Building, Lovejoy School, Bowen School, Mt. Vernon Seminary, Epiphany Mission House, Epiphany Chapel, as well as residences for E. K. Johnson, Mrs. J. F. Barbour, and W. R. Riley. (Although these sites are also listed in the 1939 Who's Who, none include a location.)Chiefly known as a Washington, DC, architect, Robert Stead apparently retired to Philadelphia and was living here when he died. He was instrumental in securing the Octagon House in DC for the American Institute of Architects, an endeavor which he shared with Frank Miles Day and Wilson Eyre.
