The Thomas Bull House, also known as Robert's Plantation, the Redding Plantation, and Mt. Pleasant, is an historic, American home that is located in East Nantmeal Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.
The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
Originally built in 1715 and owned by Owen Roberts, the property was sold in 1729 to William Branson as part of the Redding Plantation, who eventually sold it to Thomas Bull. Thomas Bull was employed by the well known Van Leer family and worked at their historical Reading Furnace as the manager.[1]
The house was created in three parts. The oldest section was built circa 1715 and is part of the two-story, four-bay eastern section of the stone dwelling. The interior of the older part features a circular staircase that wraps around the chimney and is an example of late Georgian/early Federal architecture.[2]
The two-story, three-bay, third section has been estimated by historians to have been built between 1783 and 1796.[3]
The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
