Photocopy of 3 pages (Catalog 15) from "The Great River Art & Society of the Connecticut Valley, 1635-1820 published by the Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, CT 1985 that depicts and describes the Elisha Bissell House. "The Bissell house is classic example of a fashionable style of mid-century housing closely identified with the Valley region." There is description of the interior, including dimensions of the rooms, and comment, "the interior woodwork in the Bissell house far exceeds the exterior in grandness and ornament." They suggest the house was built by local builders and suggests the Grants as Elisha Bissell 's mother was a Grant. "Elisha was a surveyor who probably built the house after his father's death in 1762." |
