Caption: Bishop Hill Colony Store • Built in 1853
Additional Description: It was built as a center for daily community life. The ground floor was used as a store and post office, and the second floor was used as a Colony office and living space for Swan Swanson, the storekeeper and a trustee of the Colony. The building is an example of the Greek Revival style with 2½ stories and a full brick basement. Brick piers extend through the second floor where there are three casement windows giving it the character of a Swedish building.
