House of Reeves
House of Reeves is an independent family-run furniture store in London in Croydon, south London, founded in 1867.〔
The company came to widespread public attention in August 2011, when one of its two adjacent buildings was destroyed in an arson attack during the 2011 England riots. Images of the furniture store on fire, with firefighters unable to tackle the blaze because police could not protect them, became symbolic of the violence that spread across the country during several days of rioting and looting.〔
==Background==
The furniture store was founded in 1867 as ''Ye Olde Curiositie Shoppe'' on Church Street — opposite Croydon Parish Church — by Edwin Reeves, a barrel maker from Sherborne, Dorset. He passed the business to his son, William. The store's name was changed after World War II to E. Reeves Ltd., and was passed to William Jr., then to Maurice Reeves, the company chairman as of 2011. The London business is run by Maurice's sons, Trevor and Graham, Another of Edwin Reeves' great-great-grandsons is Marc Reeves, former editor of the ''Birmingham Post''.
The store became known as the House of Reeves, and in the late 1970s the corner on which it is located was named "Reeves Corner".〔 It is served by Reeves Corner tram stop.
