The Horace M. Tallman House is a historic house located at 816 W. Main St. in Shelbyville, Illinois. Horace M. Tallman built the Queen Anne house for his family in 1905. Tallman was a farmer and farm implement salesman, and he became the owner of the Ann Arbor Machine Company in 1920. In 1928-29, Tallman invented the pickup hay baler, which automated the process of baling and collecting hay. While Tallman died in 1929, his sons developed and marketed the baler, which became a labor-saving machine which permanently changed farming practices. Tallman's house is the only surviving building connected to Tallman and the invention of the pickup hay baler.[2]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 6, 1988.[1]
