Bishop School (Waterbury, Connecticut)

The Bishop School, located at 178 Bishop Street in Waterbury, Connecticut, is a historic building constructed in 1886 that reflects the city's growth during the late 19th century, primarily due to an influx of immigrant laborers. Originally serving as a school until 1976, it has since been converted to residential use and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The structure features a blend of Italianate and Romanesque architectural styles, with significant expansions in 1890 and 1895 to accommodate a diverse population. The building played a vital role in the community, including serving as a teacher training school in the early 1900s.
