Sullivan, the first postmaster at the location.<ref>{{cite book|title=United States Congressional serial set|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2YFHAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA173|year=1824|publisher=U.S. Government Printing Office|pages=173}}</ref> The post office at the location was closed in 1848.<ref name="po">{{cite web|url=http://webpmt.usps.gov/pmt011.cfm?stat_state_name=SOUTH%20CAROLINA|title=South Carolina Post Offices|accessdate=November 19, 2013}}</ref> After its closure as a post office, the building served as a detached kitchen and servant quarters for the main house.<ref name="stewart">{{cite web|url=http://walterstewart.org/maps.html|title=Walter Stewart Family Maps and Locations|accessdate=November 19, 2013}}</ref> While the roof and floors were removed and a section of the second story wall collapsed, the chimneys and remaining walls of the building still stand.<ref name="nom" />
==House==
The ca1839 two-story, load-bearing masonry building designed in the [[Federal architecture|late Federal]]-early [[Greek Revival architecture|Greek Revival]] style, was built by Thaddeus Choice Bolling, a business partner of Tully F Sullivan, who was the last postmaster of the Tullyton post office.<ref name="nom" />  The house and property was purchased in 1859 by Reverend Clark B Stewart, who served as the minister of the nearby [[Fairview Presbyterian Church (Fountain Inn, South Carolina)|Fairview Presbyterian Church]].<ref name="marker">{{cite web|url=http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=8947&Result=1|title=Tullyton|accessdate=November 19, 2013}}</ref>
The brick of the house was laid in a five-course [[American bond]]. All of the double-hung sash windows have stuccoed jack arch lintels. Both the north and south facades are identical. The interior design of the house is a central hall plan. The original woodwork, including a pegged mortice-and-tenon-joined staircase handrail, is intact.<ref name="nom" />
The house and property remained in the Stewart family until Laurie Gray took ownership in 1942.  In August 1971, William and Mary Lasley purchased the house and 150 acres from the estate of Laurie Gray. After restoring and enjoying the home and property for many years, the Lasley’s sold the house and 20 acres in 1988 to a local doctor.<ref>William and Mary Lasley</ref><ref name="stewart" />
