The George Eveleigh House is a pre-Revolutionary house in Charleston, South Carolina. The house was built about 1743 for trader George Eveleigh. [1] Eventually, Eveleigh returned to England and sold his house to John Bull in 1759. [1] [2] John Bull or one of his heirs subsequently built the house at 34 Meeting Street on the rear of the property; the parcel had originally run from Church Street through the block to Meeting Street on the west. [1] The house retains much of its original cypress woodwork although many of the fireplace mantels were replaced in the Adam period. [1]
