Biographical Note:
Richard Edgar Bishop (1892-1973) was born in Walton, Indiana, son of George Washington and
Vora (Watson) Bishop. He attended Wabash College in 1911-12, received a B.S. degree from
Purdue University in 1914, and a B.S. in architecture from the University of Illinois in 1922. He
was employed as a teacher in Walton for a time after graduating from Purdue and as a renderer
for several architectural offices in Indianapolis after receiving his architectural degree.
Bishop practiced independently for a few years at his office at 1134 Hume Mansur Building,
Indianapolis, in the mid 1920s. From ca. 1927 to 1934 he was a principal in the firm of Bishop,
Knowlton & Carson, located at 312 N. Meridian Street (1927-29) in Indianapolis. He then
served five years in the Indiana regional office of the National Park Service as Supervisor of
State Park and Recreational Planning. Following a brief private practice, 1940-42, he re-entered
government service as Planning Director for the Indiana Department of Conservation, a post he
held from 1942 to 1946. He returned again to private practice in 1946 and remained in business
in Indianapolis until his retirement in 1971. His offices were located at 627 Board of Trade
Building from at least 1949 to 1951, then at 1535 Central Avenue until ca.1959, when he
practiced from his home at 5940 N. Sherman Dr.
Bishop designed many buildings for Indiana's state parks and forests during his career, and it is
this work for which he is best known. He designed the Nancy Hanks Lincoln Memorial, which

is part of the National Park Service’s Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial. He also received first
prize in a national competition sponsored by the Chicago Tribune for the design of a six-room
house, in 1927. From 1949 to 1952 he was general planner for the Indianapolis Home Show.
Bishop saw military service during the First World War as First Lieutenant in the 329th Field
Artillery, U.S. Army, 1917-19, and was stationed in France. He was a member of the American
Institute of Architects, Indiana Society of Architects, American Legion, Delta Tau Delta, and the
Service Club of Indianapolis. He held Indiana architectural registration number 18. He was
married on May 5, 1917 to Ruth Trueblood of Marion, Indiana and had three children.

Scope and Contents:
This collection consists of drawings, specifications, reference material, a report, postcards, and
scrapbook material from the office of Richard E. Bishop, Indianapolis architect. It covers the
period 1924-1969.
The drawings are mostly designs for park and recreational facilities. Several sets are for inns and
lodges at Indiana state parks. Several children’s camps are represented, too. Other drawing sets
are for private residences, a fraternity house, and additions and alterations to Indianapolis Public
School 56. Most of the work is by Bishop but a few projects are by other architectural firms:
Lennox & Matthews, August C. Bohlen, and Allen &` Kelley. The drawings are arranged
chronologically.
Specifications for the Public School 56 projects, written in 1961 and 1962, are also included.
One binder of reference material consists of plans and renderings for modest-size houses
designed by the Architectural Guild of Indianapolis, ca. 1933. Another binder contains lettersize blueprints showing “standard construction details” for recreational and other conservation
areas issued by the Indiana Department of Conservation in 1943 and 1944 (with one sheet dated
1955).
Five document cases contain additional reference materials—magazine clippings and pamphlets
about architecture collected by Bishop for office use. These are grouped according to building
type or subject.
Seven document cases hold scrapbooks of newspaper clippings dating from 1958 to 1961. The
clippings are arranged chronologically.
Conditions Governing Access:
This collection is open for research.
