"Clover Dairy Farm is the name which Mr. D.W. Patten has bestowed upon 225 acres of as fair soil as lies in New Haven County. This tract was once a part of the Rev. James Pierpont's possessions. It fell to his son, Lieut. Joseph, then to his son Giles, then to Giles, Jr., father of Munson Edward Pierpont the distinguished jurist and diplomat. Hence the grounds are historic. Not only this but they are charming in scenery. What with hill, river, meadow, and the commodious dairy and farm buildings dotting the landscape, it presents the picture of an ideal country home."
