This house at the northwestern intersection of Freedom Lane and Bourbon Street is similar in design to 568 Bourbon Street. Aaron Carver (1786-1872) in 1868 sold it to George W. Carver (1816-1873) and Sarah A. Carver (b. 1824), his wife. It is possible that this house was built by Aaron Carver prior to the sale; otherwise, it is assumed that George and Sarah built it when they bought the property. The 1868 deed stipulated that after the death of George and Sarah the property proceeds were to be equally divided among the children of George Carver.

In 1905, their seven heirs and respective spouses sold this property to Sarah C. Worthington (1854-1926). Her husband was John W. Worthington (1839-1918), with whom she had four children. The mother of Sarah C. Worthington was Sarah H. Slymer (d. 1902) against whose executrix John Worthington and his daughter, Blanche W. Ely, filed suit in 1910. They sought to have the real estate of Slymer sold in order to pay Slymer’s debts because her personal estate was too limited to pay her debts (particularly to them). He was not successful in this complicated and lengthy litigation and died in 1918. Sarah Worthington died eight years later and her estate divided the proceeds from the sale of this property between her four children.

John Thomas Blansfield (1900-1975) and Marguerite T. Blansfield purchased this home in 1927 and raised their daughter, Marguerite T. Beigel, here. It is thought that the original house was considerably smaller before then and that the Blansfields may have made the addition to the west side of the house to include the current kitchen and other rooms. The dormers may also have been added then based on the construction materials. After John’s service in WWII and that of his brother, George Blansfield, the Blansfields added their daughter’s name to the deed in 1947. After living in this home almost 40 years, the family relocated to the Towson area in 1965 and sold the house to Orie Winfield Davison, Jr. and Darce J. Davison.

The Davisons divided this property (which had reached 140 feet north on Freedom Lane) into two parcels in 1969 and built a new two-story home with a garage at 150 South Freedom Lane. The Davisons moved into that new home and sold this home and the remaining land (the “southerly half”) in 1978 to Ronald R. Combs (1949-2008) and Linda K. Combs. Just two years later the Combs sold this property to Kenneth M. Smith, Sr. and Ellen H. Smith.

Nathan E. Boyer bought this property in 1984. He is the son of the late Teresa L. Boyer (1930-2014) of Havre de Grace and Eugene Daniel Boyer (1926-2013) and is employed by the U.S. Army. This formerly single home with a basement was converted at some point into four apartments; however, it is not known when this conversion took place. Nathan Boyer has owned the home for approximately 36 years and may have divided the home as an investment property. Nathan lives elsewhere in Havre de Grace and owns other rental properties in the city.

This attractive and historic home has appeared unoccupied for several years; in early 2022 some work has been done to the house.
