"The Reeve house has been moved twice in its long history of changing ownership. In 1917 Dr. V. Ray Townsend found the house
on blocks ready to be carted away from its original site. He bought it and moved it several blocks inland to its second site
in Long Beach. Shortly thereafter he moved to the Claremont area but, unwilling to give it up, rented it out for the next
ten years. Meanwhile , in Claremont, the Townsends located the Darling house (1903) in which they resided until 1927 when
Henry Greene was engaged to move the Reeve house a second time and to handle its additions, alterations and landscaping in
readiness for the Townsends' return to Long Beach." -- from Greene & Greene, architecture as a fine art, by Randell L. Makinson,
Salt Lake City, 1977, p. 85.
