“This house is a model for many houses and households of this region,” says decorative arts specialist Heather Ersts. Architectural historian Sherri Marsh Johns agrees: “Exactly, the archive that we are going to create with this is going to be so useful for preservationists’ projects where they are not going to have resources to go and do the in-depth analysis. They could look to Cloverfields and say, “this is a house of a certain age, a certain socioeconomic status,” and use it as a comparable and do a better interpretation than they otherwise would. So, the learning potential for other preservations is amazing.”
