Oscar O. Reed House
"
Built before 1900, this home was the home of Oscar O. Reed and his wife,
Mary (Lehnherr) Reed, daughter of city founder, Christian Lehnherr. Oscar
moved to the area in 1871 with his parents. He died in October of 1921.
For many years, the home served as the local funeral chapel, and the parlor on the north east corner of the house was used where the viewing area was located.
This home is presently being restored to its former glory. The current owners indicate that the home was converted to apartments for many years, and numerous alterations were made. It has now been returned to a single family home.
