In 1897, he was living at 53 Beaufort Street, Chelsea, London.[1]
In 1908 to 1909, Garden Lodge, in Logan Place, Kensington, a neo-Georgian house behind a high brick wall, was built for him and his wife, the sculptor Constance Halford.[2] The architect was Ernest Marshall.[3] Rea lived there until he died in 1935, and Halford until her death in 1938.[2]
His work is in the permanent collections of the V&A,[4] the Art Gallery of NSW,[5] and the Paul Mellon Centre.[6]
In 1993, an artwork of his sold at Christie's for £1430.[7]
