Regarding Truman & Sylvia Bull Coe House. Excerpts from the National Register nomination:
The Truman and Sylvia Bull Coe House is significant as an excellent and rare example of the Queen Anne-Eastlake style of architecture in Columbus's Clintonville neighborhood. It is one of the few remaining residences of Clintonville's nineteenth-century community, and one of the very few large houses built there before Clintonville was annexed by the City of Columbus in 1910.
There are no records that specify the date that the Coe House was built, nor even that the Coes built it. It was built, however, on land that they owned during the lifetimes of Mr. and Mrs. Coe, and so it can reasonably be assumed that they were the original owners. By extrapolating information from census records, the 1880 agricultural census, mortgage records, city and county directories, maps, and the construction and stylistic evidence, we can infer that the house appears to have been built between 1880 and 1885.
