[included in the "Hancock County Through Eastern's Eye" exhibit] LB2010.8.117158 H. G. Reed's Store, McKinley, Me. 11. H. G. (Hollis) Reed's store in McKinley (now Bass Harbor) formerly belonged to F. N. Sawyer (see photo #101367). Hollis worked for Sawyer as a young man and later bought the store from him. Hollis expanded the store several times. He removed the stairs and moved the main entrance on the ground floor, added gasoline tanks on the left, and on the second floor added the Neptune movie theater, which was entered from the left rear of the building. The Neptune theater operated through the 1940s and 1950s, and many windjammers anchored at night in Bass Harbor because of the attraction of the movie theater. The store later belonged to Hollis' son, Stanley W. Reed, and then his grandson, Bradley Reed. To the left is the barn that goes with Hollis and Lillian Reed's house, which would have been in front of it to the left in the picture. H. G.'s son Clayton Reed now owns the house.
