"Built in 1868 in the Gothic Revival style of architecture, the Reed House was home to the Reed, King, Dow, and Downing families for nearly 150 years. The house was remodeled in 1989 and features interesting leaded glass windows, built-in cabinets, refinished woodwork and an updated fireplace. The stunning rhododendron bushes in front of the house were brought from England by the Dow family in the early 1900’s. The house was named a heritage Home by the Lake County Historical Society in 1968." Source: www.mentorpl.org/the-read-house/
