A wrought iron fence surrounds the house, which was preserved by the owners during World War II despite the call for metal donations to the war effort. It is adorned with a plaque commemorating Sloane, the work of the Wooster Museum (before it was moved under the care of the Wayne County Historical Society of Ohio). The plaque emphasizes the importance Wooster residents place on their historical buildings. Mrs. Lyman Robert Critchfield embodies this characteristic, having preserved the house since she attained it in 1946. She gave meticulous attention to the preservation and reservation efforts, trying to be as faithful to the original building as possible. | A wrought iron fence surrounds the house, which was preserved by the owners during World War II despite the call for metal donations to the war effort.
