John F. Deford, a leather merchant, purchased 4 of the Boyce's "Kalmia Park" parcels totaling 32 acres, and in 1911 built "Greenwood," a brick Greek Revival mansion overlooking Boyce Avenue, designed by architect Lawrence Hall Fowler. Currently the home of the Baltimore County Board of Education. In recent years its steep hill has become popular for sledding during the winter months.
