Located on present-day County Road 290, this house was the boyhood home of Robert Lee Bullard, who became a general in the U.S. Army and would lead the First Infantry Division in France during World War I. It was constructed by James Dowdell II, uncle of Congressman James Ferguson Dowdell, in 1850. The home is pictured here in March 1933, when it was photographed by the Historical American Buildings Survey and occupied by several of Bullard's siblings.
