The James Griffith House, sometimes known locally as the Minnie Bishop House, is a historic residence located in Canal Winchester, Ohio. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on August 15, 1989.[1]
The home is named after James Griffith, who purchased the land the home is on in 1869. Built sometime between 1869 and 1872, Griffith operated a brickyard at the property until the 1890s.[2] While not confirmed, it is theorized that Griffith manufactured the bricks for and built the house himself.[3][2] It is occasionally referred to as the Minnie Bishop House because a local school teacher of the same name rented the house in the 1900s.[2]
