Bishop & Company was first called the Southern California Confectionery Co--owned by cousins William T. and Roland P Bishop...started in 1887. The first address in CDs is "Aliso and Aliso Road"; before long, it was 14 N Los Angeles--which became 114 NLA with the renumberings of 1891. By 1895 the company opened a factory near the corner of E 7th and Alameda...later expanding into the Parkinson-designed Building D of the LA Union Terminal.

More on the business and the family is in
