This 1865 photo is one of the oldest glass-negatives in the Keeping Society’s Photo Collection. In the background is the E. Chapman Bishop house at 126 Broad Street across from the library. By 1920 the use of glass plates had all but petered out among Guilford photographers.

Robert Elliot DeForest. He was the son of George C. Griswold

Robert’s name was initially Robert Elliot Griswold, but it was changed to become eligible for a Yale scholarship. He was born February 20, 1845. He attended Yale University and was a member of the alpha delta phi fraternity. After graduating Yale, he taught at Royalton Academy in Vermont, where he met his wife, Rebecca Bellows Marcy. Although Robert was born in Guilford and attended public schools, he spent most of his adult life in Bridgeport, where he began his political career as a lawyer. He did not live in the Griswold house despite his ownership, instead electing to use the house for different purposes. The zenith of his political career, though, came in 1891, when he was elected to the United States House of Representatives.
