Entrance features transom and sidelights. Englishman Thomas Bishop came to Athens from Massachusetts in 1835 and opened a grocery store. He constructed the house in 1837 after acquiring the building site from the Trustees of the University of Georgia. Bishop and his heirs retained ownership of the house for more than a century until the University bought it in 1937. Adjacent to Old North Campus, the Bishop House was individually nominated to the National Register because it was non-contiguous, separated from Old North Campus by Jackson Street.Slide annotated: "Bishop Hse.
