Apart from two churches, Bulkeley's home is the oldest building in Halifax, Nova Scotia (1760).
 Since 1867 his residence has been known as  "The Carleton."
Bulkeley built his new home on Argyle Street from stone he brought from the ruins of Louisbourg (1758).
He also had installed the black marble mantel from the Governor's house at Louisbourg.
 At his new home in the 1780s, Bulkeley regularly entertained the future King William IV (abolished slavery in British Empire; had an affair with Governor Wentworth's wife Francis) as well as Prince Edward (father of Queen Victoria).
He also held large levees there on New Year’s Day and the queen’s birthday, as well as dinners on St Patrick’s and St George’s days."
 He named his home Carleton House after Guy Carleton, 1st Baron Dorchester upon his visit to Halifax in 1786.
 Bulkeley's widow eventually sold the residence to Henry Hezekiah Cogswell (1816).
