A Walk on Winter Street – Google PageWhen 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 will see a great variety of architectural styles: Federal, Greek Revival, English Gothic, Second Empire, Italianate, American Gothic, early 20th century Dutch Colonial, Colonial Revival, and others. At the west end is the Monnett Hall campus and the Monnett Memorial Garden.

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.
