James D. Bulloch:
Secret Agent & Mastermind of the Confederate Navy
American naval hero and Confederate secret agent James Dunwoody Bulloch was widely considered the Confederacy's most dangerous man in Europe. As head of the South's covert shipbuilding and logistics program overseas during the American Civil War, Bulloch acquired a staggering 49 warships, blockade runners, and tenders; built "invulnerable" ocean-going ironclads; sustained Confederate logistics; financed covert operations; and acted as the mastermind behind the destruction of 130 Union ships.

Bulloch Hall was constructed for James Stephens Bulloch and his wife Martha Stewart Elliott Bulloch when they moved to Roswell from Savannah, a coastal Georgia town.
Major Bulloch was a stockholder in the Roswell Manufacturing Company owned by Roswell King, founder of the town of Roswell.
The Bullochs had four children from previous marriages, and had four children together: Anna, Mittie, Charles & Irvine. Major Bulloch died of a heart attack in 1849 while teaching a Bible class at the Presbyterian Church. His untimely death left Mrs. Bulloch to raise their family alone and maintain Bulloch Hall.
Mittie, their second daughter, became mother of President Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, and grandmother of Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady from 1934-1945.
Bulloch Hall is owned by the City of Roswell and operated by Friends of Bulloch, Inc., a GA 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
