Elizabeth Bishop House, Heritage house in Great Village, Nova Scotia, Canada

The Elizabeth Bishop House is a 1.5-story wooden building with Classical Revival design features located along Nova Scotia Trunk 2 in Great Village. The structure retains its original architectural character and proportions from its construction period.

The Bulmer family bought the property in 1874, though the construction date of the 1.5-storey Classical Revival house is unknown. Elizabeth Bishop spent summers there with her maternal grandparents, William Brown Bulmer and Elizabeth Hutchinson Bulmer. On 21 May 1997 the house was recognised as a Nova Scotia Provincially Recognised Heritage Site for its link to Bishop and its architecture.

Elizabeth Bishop spent summers here with her maternal grandparents, William Brown Bulmer and Elizabeth Hutchinson Bulmer, and drew on Great Village for poems such as "Filling Station" and the story "In the Village". The house is a private single-family home, so the interior is not open to visitors; the Elizabeth Bishop Society can be contacted about public access.

The house is located along a main road and is easy to spot when traveling through the area. Visitors should check opening conditions in advance since access and tour availability may vary seasonally.

The house is also called the Bulmer House, after William Brown Bulmer and Elizabeth (Hutchinson) Bulmer, the maternal grandparents with whom Bishop spent summers there. The property was bought by the family in 1874, but the year the house itself was built has never been established.
