Built in the 1840s for Mary and Eliza Freeman, these two houses represent the last historic remnants of “Little Liberia,” a once-thriving antebellum community of free people of color. The houses were listed on the National Register in 1999 and belong to Action for Bridgeport Community Development Inc., a nonprofit organization that seeks to identify and eliminate the causes of poverty.
