Regarding Tallman-G. Hathaway-Heffley House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination

Architecturally and historically significant properties in the district include the Tallman-G. Hathaway-Heffley House which is one of the earliest documented houses in Canal Winchester, dating to the late 1830's. Significant details include its six over six light double hung windows, single door entry with sidelights and transom in the right bay of the three bay facade, and interior staircase. Beginning the pattern of merchant's residences along High Street early on, William Tallman owned a store on High Street at the canal in the 1840's and 1850's, and eventually became involved in the agricultural implement business. George Hathaway was a United Brethren circuit preacher and blacksmith, and James Heffley was pastor of the Reformed Church between 1860 and 1871, and then proprietor of The Times newspaper from 1876 to 1881. Continuing the tradition of the combined commercial building and residence, this house was purchased by Dr. Louis Saylor in 1919, who opened his veterinary office in the frame building attached on the north side. This part of the building is still in commercial use, now an exterminator's office. The building was remodeled in 1934 by the Huffman Bros., a local contracting firm, in a bungalow style, with the addition of dormers and front porch, although the earlierconfiguration is still apparent.Photographed by Duane and Tracy Marsteller, May 26, 20242.
