Old Henry Reed House on Water Street, Marion, Mass. Was occupied for 2 seasons by President Grover Cleveland. He would have bought it, but owners raised the selling price, so he bought a house in Gray Gables, Buzzards Bay instead. The Reed house owner was George Kelley, who would not contribute to the Tower Clock Fund of Captain Henry Allen, so the clock face was left off the Tower Clock on the side that faced his house.
