George Eveleigh House

The George Eveleigh House is at 39 Church Street, Charleston, South Carolina.

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] 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]
