: The Blundon House, one of the very earliest
: built in Riverdale Park did indeed face
: Lafayette at Grant Avenue (now Oglethorpe
: Street). It is pictured in the 1904
: prospectus of the Riverdale park
: development. According to the anniversary
: history of Riverdale Park published in 1970,
: it was still standing then, though aerial
: photographs suggest that it had been
: demolished some time before that. Indeed
: The Blundon family did indeed suffer several
: terrible tragedies long before the loss of
: the house. It was replaced by several
: smaller houses.

: Does anyone know when the old Joseph Blundon
: house was demolished ? It sat between Oliver
: street, and Oglethorpe, I believe, on the
: lot facing ? Lafayette Avenue. I'm doing a
: little research about the Blundon family
: tragedies.
