Built in 1863 by Thomas Potts, this house belonged to George Reily, co-founder of Star Glass in the late-1880's. Star Glass employed up to 250 workers at the height of its success. Star Glass had the distinctive pride of devising a lock-top catsup bottle for the Campbell Soup Company in nearby Camden NJ. The glass foundry closed in 1923. All that remains of the once-bustling glassblowing trade in Medford is the founder's house at 126 South Main Street and the nearby factory store.
