From 1917 to 1922 G. A. Nichols was by far the most active developer in the Heritage Hills neighborhood. He built a wide range of homes, from Colonial Revival pill boxes to innovative airplane bungalows at prices starting at $6000. This home, started in 1917 with a $25,000 building permit, was both his first in the neighborhood and his most expensive.

Nichols used the Spanish Colonial Revival motif in a formal, controlled way, stacking the ornate gables above the entryway and running the tiled, mansard roofs along parallel lines. The softening effect of arches and columns along the front and sides of the homes reinforced the simplified formality of the design.

In March of 1918 Nichols sold the home to Mr. and Mrs. James O. Galloway. James was president of the Old Colony Petroleum Company with headquarters in the Colcord Building. He and his wife, Sudie, lived in the home with their three sons and daughter until 1924before moving to Los Angeles, California. Mr. and Mrs. Galloway are buried in Fairlawn Cemetery.

In 1960 the home was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Myron Buttram. Myron was a native of Oklahoma City, where his father Frank Buttram had built an oil empire. Myron spent much of his youth in Heritage Hills, growing up at 601NW 14th Street. After completing his education, he entered the mining and oil business, operating out of fourteen states. He and his wife Bobbie remodeled 19of the 20 rooms of the house, converted the kitchen to an office, converted the breakfast nook into the kitchen and closed the north half of the front porch for a garden room.

Later owners included Mr. and Mrs. Glen McAlister (1992-2007), Denise and Ron Suttles (2007-2011, and Diana Hampton who purchased the home in 2011. The home was featured on the Home Tour in 2008 and 2013.
