The Peyton Randolph Bishop House is a historic house at 135 Washington Avenue in Bridgeport, Connecticut. It is a three story brick structure, three bays wide, with a side entrance, single-story front porch, and a mansard roof. A 1-1/2 story ell extends to the rear of the main block. The building has the basic footprint of a Greek Revival style house typical of its construction period in 1839, but it later received extensive Victorian renovations, including the mansard roof.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. It is one of the few surviving residential structures in the city's urban core.
