- For
- Wellesley residents and readers of local history
- Worth noticing
- The page says Wellesley histories placed Reed’s death by 1921, while Harvard class reports document that he lived until 1944.
Field notes
The account begins with the brook and earlier mill before following Reed’s purchases, the dam, the colony, and the subdivision of the estate. Its navigation separates topics such as the trolley, Wellesley Park, the pond, and the house, while a press-map section exposes regional and zoom controls.
