When Delaware was laid out in 1808,
the town covered an area from Central
Avenue on the north to the Delaware
Run on the south and from the
Olentangy (Whetstone) River on the
east to Liberty Street on the west.
Winter Street has been said to be the
most beautiful street in the world, with
its many stately trees and beautiful
homes.
It is a pleasant blend of 19th and 20th
century buildings. As you walk along, you

styles: Federal, Greek Revival, English
Gothic, Second Empire, Italianate,
American Gothic, early 20th century Dutch

21. The "Nash" House is located at 157 E. William St., Delaware City Inlot
#635 (old lot #18) in the "Lamb & Sturdevant Addition" to the city
dated August 24th 1855. 1876 was a busy year for the property. Hugh
and Nancy Carter sold it to Christopher Potter for $850, then
Christopher and Emily M. Potter sold it to John Slattery for $1200, then
John & Mary Slattery sold it to Thomas Slattery for $1200. The 1879 Tax
duplicate book has the notation to "Add H (House) @ $1000" making
the tax value $1230.
These notations and increases appear in the tax books the year after
they happen, indicating that the house was completed in 1878. Thomas
Slattery, son of John and Mary Slattery, married Wilmina (also known
as Mina or "Neena") E. Zimmer, daughter of William and Katrina (Anna
Catherine) Zimmer on February 22, 1876. Their first child, Minnie
Angeline was born November 6, 1876 while the house was being built.
When they moved in to the house in 1878, Thomas was 29 and Mina
was 22. Thomas worked as a clerk with the railroad and Mina was a
seamstress. William Henry was born May 30, 1879 and John Thomas
March 9, 1881. Three children under the age of four quickly made the
house a home. Sarah Mariah, born July 14, 1882, was their fourth Child.
Two weeks later, August 1, 1882 Minna Died, as did baby Sarah who
survived for only 17 days. The funerals took place in the parlor of the
house. Probably due to grief or his own failing health, Thomas sold the
house in late 1882 to Ann Hutchins for $2800. Thomas' son, John
Thomas died in 1883. Thomas lived less than one more year, dying on
June 14, 1884 at 35 years of consumption (TB). They are all buried in
Oak Grove Cemetery.
