Reid was born in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, to William J. Reid and Lucinda Robinson, and went on to graduate from École des Beaux-Arts, Paris. Reid and brother James W. worked for a time at the architectural firm of Boyd and Brickley, Evansville, Indiana before purchasing the contracts of that firm in 1879 and opened their own firm, Reid & Reid, with their other brother Watson Elkinah Reid.
