In 1982 the Springdale Neighborhood Association published The Neighborhood of Springdale, bringing to life the families who created the area’s two largest nineteenth-century estates, Brockie and Springdale. Thirty years later it was updated for a second printing. The cover logo, the oak-leaf mark you see on this site, was designed by G. Rohier; the text illustrations are by Ottmar Carli.

The booklet is still provided at no cost in the welcome packet for every new neighbor.

Come and see it.

The best way to know Springdale is to walk it: fifteen stops, about a mile and a quarter.
