Isaac Reed (politician)

Isaac Reed (August 22, 1809 – September 19, 1887) was a United States representative from Maine.

[2] He was appointed as a member of the State board of agriculture and a trustee of the Maine Insane Hospital.

He was an unsuccessful candidate for election in 1850 to the Thirty-second Congress, but subsequently was elected as a Whig to the Thirty-second Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Charles Andrews and served from June 25, 1852, to March 3, 1853.

In 1811 Reed's father purchased a house under construction begun in 1808 by the congregational reverend John R. Cutting.

Known at the time as "Cuttings folly" the house is now known as the Reed Mansion and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
