Joseph Andrew Blundon's House

A photo of Joseph Andrew Blundon's house, "Oak Villa". Joseph was called one of the fathers of Riverdale Park, Maryland. He built this beautiful old house by the railroad tracks, where he was killed, ironically, by a train on August 11 1909. The house no longer stands. It was allowed to fall into ruin.

Date & Place: January 1889 at Oliver Street And Lafayette Avenue in Riverdale Park, Maryland USA

A Google Photo search will show an image of him. He has a goatee. It's from the newspaper. I am not certain if it is copyrighted, or I would share it.
