He lived in town on Avon Street in 1874 and bought farm land on the west side of town in the 1880s when Wakefield Park was starting its development.. Some of his land became part of that development, and on the southern edge of it he built this house. The street was known as Mt.
Pleasant Avenue in the 1880s and sometime thereafter changed to Jordan Avenue. Dr. Jordan's son headed the Wakefield Jordan Furniture Company wicker manufacturing firm.
