According to the Kentucky Junior League's Website:
This Kentucky Federal style house, built c. 1814, offers fine examples of the Federal, Greek Revival and Victorian periods of architecture and furnishings. The Bodley-Bullock house is noted for its delicate three-story stairway, the finest example of a cantilevered elliptical staircase in any Kentucky Federal house. Adjoining the house lies a beautiful garden restored to its original master plan. Also featured in the house are the Bullock's snuff bottle collection, portraits and pieces of Dr. Bullock's sculpture. As a contribution to Lexington's historic preservation, the Junior League of Lexington renovated the Bodley-Bullock House and now uses it as their headquarters.
