Elizabeth Bishop House, Heritage house in Great Village, Nova Scotia, Canada
The Elizabeth Bishop House stands as a 1.5-story wooden structure with Classical Revival architecture on Nova Scotia Trunk 2 in Great Village.
The Bulmer family acquired this residential property in 1874, which later became the childhood home of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Elizabeth Bishop.
Elizabeth Bishop wrote several poems and stories based on her experiences in this house, including the notable works In the Village and Filling Station.
The property received provincial heritage status on May 21, 1997, under reference number 00PNS0221 in the Nova Scotia Heritage Property Register.
From 2004 to 2015, the house functioned as an artist retreat where creators could work in the same environment that influenced Bishop's literary works.
