As an architect, Sulley is noted for several buildings in Nottingham,[2] among them 2 Hamilton Road, 'a fine Victorian dwelling' designed for James White the lace manufacturer in 1883.
[1][3][4][5] Although he had no formal training in archaeology, Sulley's background in architecture allowed him to develop various ideas about Solomon's Temple and the City of David.
[7] In 1929 Sulley was the first to propose that the watercourse of Siloam tunnel was following a natural crack,[8][9][10][11] a theory developed by Ruth Amiran (1968),[12] and Dan Gill (1994).
[14] As a Christadelphian Sulley toured Australia,[15] New Zealand,[15][16][17] America and Canada, showing his large illustrated architectural designs for Ezekiel's temple, in lecture halls and museums, typically over two or three nights.
[18] On his journeys he would write articles for publication in England giving impressions on the buildings he saw: for example, noting that the Washington Monument was a marvel, but that the corner-towers of Ezekiel's temple would be two-and-a-half times taller.
