Reese was born in Motherwell, Scotland. He emigrated to New Zealand in 1861 on the New Zealandia, and founded a Christchurch building firm in 1864. He was a champion rower, and his son Dan Reese (who was 12 when he died) was a champion Canterbury cricketer. Two other sons, Tom and Jack, were also prominent cricketers in Canterbury.[1]
Reese had several high profile commissions. He built Trinity Congregational Church (ca 1870),[2] the Canterbury Club (1873),[3] Cranmer Court (1873–1875),[4] St Paul's Church (1877), parts of Lincoln College, the Chief Post Office (1877–1878), the United Service Hotel in Cathedral Square (1884–1885), parts of Sunnyside Hospital, the first Christchurch Girls' High School (now part of the Arts Centre, and the second Girls' High School (1881).[2] He also built the Belfast Freezing Works.[5]
He represented the Stanmore electorate from 1884 when he defeated Walter Pilliet, but was defeated in 1887.[6][7]
