The Cheshire Academy (R), a preparatory and tutoring school for boys,
occupies the grounds and buildings of the Episcopal Academy established
in 1796 which was moved to Hartford and later became Trinity College.
Among the buildings of the school is the brick college (1796) of the original
Episcopal Academy, a smaller edition of Connecticut Hall on the Yale
Campus. Bishop Abraham Jarvis, who was instrumental in having it incorporated as a college in 1801, built the large white house with the handsome portico facing the main street (L), four houses behind St. Peter's Church, around which the road swings to the left.
