Description:

A "Farmhouse". Property originally a nursery. Has a stone foundation with frame upper level. 10 rooms, 1 1/2 baths. Root cellar. Still usable cistern system not in use. 6 1/2 room barn with dirt cellar. Originally no front porch. Sleeping porch added in back. (Dusty Rhodes says house has 8 rooms, 3 bedrooms and 1 bath.)

Charlie Cornish was a builder. He owned 429 Elm 1929-1945 and the home in Milford where Bob Terwillegar now lives (2000). This house was bought by the Cornishes c1921 (?) after it was damaged by a tornado. Charlie and his father were builders so could fix it up. (Ellis Rawnsley from Charlie Cornish) In Greenlawn Cemetery in Milford are buried: Harry E. Cornish, father, 1866-1953; Ida M. Cornish, mother, 1865-1936; Charles W. Cornish, son, 1893-1985; Kate, daughter, 1901-1994.

Story 4:

"Galloway House". J. L. Galloway, treasurer of the village (born KY 1824), married a Highlands. He had 3 (see below) sons, William, Frank and Elton and a daughter Stella who married Walter Boone, son of Thomas Boone (see 601 Wooster). J. L. Galloway built this house in 1864(?). J. L. planted a ginkgo tree (in 1858, according to Stella Galloway Boone's 1942 paper for the TP Garden Club) which is still standing on the property in 2000. Galloway sold c16 acres to George Corey for his subdivision in 1885(?). Galloway had a nursery on Wooster Pike. George Balhizer (Milford family) went to work for Galloway when he was 14 years old. After the Spanish American War he went to Chicago where he became a commercial flower grower. Eventually it became the biggest seed and forest supply company in the world, George Ball Co.

Information from History of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, Ohio; Their Past and Present. Cincinnati, Ohio; S. B. Nelson & Co., Publishers; 1894, p. 951 (book in TPHS archives. J. L. Galloway evidently had 4 sons, William E., Elton, Walter & Frank C.. The rest agrees with the above. J. L Galloway "was engaged in general farming until 1872, when he embarked in the nursery business, which has proved very remunerative. He is now also extensively engaged in raising flowers, in which he is very successful. For the past 40 years he has lived in Terrace Park." That means he lived in Terrace Park from 1854 on.

Story 5:	According to Peter H. Lowry the Cornish home was sold to Michael and Betty Buschbacher (410 Elm). They divided the property between their son Mike (151 Wrenwood) and their daughter Carol. Mike owned an acre of land to the rear with no house on it while Carol owned the rest and lived in the house. In 1996 Peter H. Lowry bought Mike Buschbacher's part of the property as well as 745 Wooster for rental. In May 2001 a fence went up on those combined pieces of property to accommodate 2 horses. In 1996 there was a permit issued for a new building for family residence - 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. Architect: John Wallis. Contractor: Curtis Brattle. Owner: Carolyn Buschbacher. Was this ever built? Probably sold land to Peter Lowry instead.
