McCullough married Miss Grace Cohoon of Detroit. William D. McCullough and his wife lived at 1115 West Boston in the 1920s and 1930s with their adopted children, Jack and Virginia.  He was part of a movement at the time in which wealthy Detroiters such as John Dodge, Alfred & Matilda Wilson, Charles Fischer, Crowley, and Kern bought property around Rochester to serve as weekend getaways and income producing farms.  McCullough purchased the farmhouse at 1750 W. Tienken, where he kept a stable of jumping horses.  He then hired John Kiekbusch, a local famer, to run a dairy farm on the property.  McCullough housed the Kiekbusch family along with two hired hands in the house at 1470 Tienken.
