Description:
The revolutionary poet, journalist and a founder of the US Communist party was born in Portland and buried in Moscow's Kermlin.
At this site his grandfather’s mansion Cedar Hill, stood on 5 acres. Today, only the elaborate concrete steps that connect SW Cedar Lane with Cactus Drive survive but nearby SW Green Street is named for his capitalist grandfather.
Directly above this site, in the NE corner of Washington Park, is the only memorial to him outside his plain grave at the wall of the Kremlin. It is a plaque on a park bench with a quote of his... unfortunately an uncontroversial quote about the beauty of Portland, NOT about the Revolution.
PLEASE NOTE: The naming of Reed College is IN NO WAY connected to Jack Reed.
