Acorn Park (1955-), the Remnant of Francis Preston Blair's Estate, "Silver Spring" (1840-)

[DonRocks]

"Acorn Park" on silverspringdowntown.com - this tiny sliver of a park is what's left of Francis Blair's original estate, "Silver Spring." Amazingly, even though my parents bought their house in Silver Spring in 1955, and as many times as I've driven by Acorn Park, I've never actually gotten out of the car and seen it.

I never knew that the Blairs of Blair House were the same family as everything named Blair in Silver Spring.
