Abraham Bishop was a New Haven property owner and Jeffersonian political radical who owned the block on Elm Street where the John Cook and Timothy Bishop houses were built in the early nineteenth century. Somewhere between 1828 and 1838, he had a house built for his daughter, Caroline Nicoll, on Elm Street, next to the Cook house and across from the Bishop House.
Today’s post concludes New Haven Month, but also marks an important anniversary: Historic Buildings of Connecticut began one year ago today with the Joseph Webb House in Wethersfield! A post has since appeared for each day, a feat I had not entirely planned on when I began this project! That makes 365 buildings preceding today’s (taking into account an extra one for a leap year, but subtracting the humorous April 1 post). Recently, the blog has moved to a new domain and won an award from the Hartford Preservation Alliance! Let’s see what interesting buildings appear here in the site’s second year!
