It is one of 22 bungalow or bungaloid houses in the village limits and has had minimal alteration. Its Craftsman influence, original oak siding, trim, porch, intact plan and matching garage add to its value.","narrative":"Built in 1918 at 163 West Waterloo Street, this 1 1/2-story frame house is a variation of the California type Bungalow. It has a hip roof rather than the usual gable, a projecting gabled front porch, horizontal wood siding cut from oak taken from a nearby grove, and Craftsman-style trim and brackets. A rock-faced concrete block foundation supports the house, and a matching two-car garage stands beside it. Jacob I. Zellers, a commercial builder, bought the land in 1918 and built two houses of the same design on the same block. The house was sold in 1921 and was rented for much of the early twentieth century. It is one of 22 bungalow-type houses in Canal Winchester and one of two with this plan. Because the other has been heavily altered, this one is valued for its minimal alteration, original exterior details, wood floors, oak trim, mantel with mirror, and intact plan.","period_of_significance":"1918","architect_builder":"Jacob I.
