What is this?

• A. Goddard House
• B. Goddard Manor
• C. Goddart Hall
• D. Goddart House

Answer: (D)

In historic interiors work, getting the exact name of a property right—including how a surname is spelled and what building type is used—is essential for matching the item to the source. The correct form uses the surname spelled with a “t” and the building designation “House,” which is how this particular property is documented in the reference material. That precise spelling and designation distinguish it from the other options, which change the surname to “Goddard” or switch the building type to “Manor” or “Hall.” Those differences point to different properties or records and don’t align with the source you’re using. So, the correct form is Goddart House because it matches the documented name and type in the historical materials.
