The house of the Hon William Bull stands with dignified aspect upon Meeting Street in Charleston, South Carolina, near the way of Ladson, its lofty brick walls and quoined corners marking it as one of the earliest and most substantial dwellings of the town. Raised upon a high basement and finished in the plain yet noble manner of the first decades of the century, it proclaims the station of its builders and the long-settled authority of the Bull family in the affairs of Carolina. - AsNotedIn
