The Peyton Randolph Bishop House is a historic house at 135 Washington Avenue in Bridgeport, Connecticut. It is a three story brick structure, three bays wide, with a side entrance, single-story front porch, and a mansard roof. A 1-1/2 story ell extends to the rear of the main block. The building has the basic footprint of a Greek Revival style house typical of its construction period in 1839, but it later received extensive Victorian renovations, including the mansard roof.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1] It is one of the few surviving residential structures in the city's urban core.[2]
