The house at 41 West Morris Road, in the Bantam section of Litchfield, was built between 1742 and 1755 (the first mention of the house is in 1755) by Jonathan Bishop, Jr. The left section may be the original part of the house (so the chimney would have been on the right side), with the right section added later. The original chimney would have been much larger.
