A Brief History of Springdale, Maryland
Rachael Carson's Homestead, Springdale.
Maryland
After the Carson's left Springdale in
1930 and followed Rachel to Maryland, the house was rented
for several years and vacant for several more following
that. Angeline Sober, a local schoolteacher who had in fact
taught a young Rachel Carson, purchased the by-then
dilapidated house from Robert McLean Carson, Rachel's
brother, in 1937.
Ms. Sober subsequently embarked on a renovation and
expansion project that included the addition of an east
wing, indoor plumbing, rewiring, and a central hot water
heating system. After the renovations, Ms. Sober lived
primarily in the newer areas of the house and rented most of
the historic structure as a separate family residence. While
the extensive renovations probably saved the house from
demolition, they also significantly affected the character
and historic integrity of the house.
As Rachel's career blossomed and she became a well-known
writer, Ms. Sober would entertain guests with loving stories
of her childhood in Springdale and the roots of her interest
in nature. Ms. Sober would remain a life-long fan whose care
of the property during these years was crucial to its
eventual preservation as a historic site.
Ms. Sober lived in the house until the early 1970's, when
she began preparations to enter a retirement home. While a
group of interested conservationists, historians, and local
citizens expressed interest in preserving the site,
developers also had their sights set on acquiring it.
