Inn's History
Bullis House Inn is a registered Texas State Historic Landmark located in the Government
Hill Historic District, the Bullis House was built between 1906 - 1909 by noted architect
Harvey Page for General John Lapham Bullis and his family. More concerned with
creature comforts when he retired, the general had oak paneling, parquet floors, crystal
chandeliers, and marble fireplaces installed in his home.
General Bullis, a New York native, came to Texas in 1865 after four years of service in the
Union Army during the American Civil War. He became famous, however, while fighting
hostile Indians on the Texas frontier from 1867 - 1882 and was instrumental in the
capture of Apache Chief Geronimo.
Constructed in 1870, the Quadrangle, with its impressive clock tower, was originally built
as a supply depot. In 1886, it served as prison grounds for Apache Chief Geronimo and
his warriors.
Much to the delight of children and adults alike, the Quadrangle now houses flocks of
deer, rabbits, chickens, geese and ducks, which have occupied the grounds for over 100
years. The animals are tame enough to hand-feed and occasionally pet.
There is a legend that the Indian chief's spirit roams within the mansion. In later years
General Bullis saw service in Cuba and the Philippines, and later retired to his beloved
San Antonio.
In 1983, the Bullis House was purchased by the Cross family for use as a bed & breakfast
inn.
