United States of America -- Connecticut -- Fairfield County -- Bridgeport
General:
Marina was fourth and final estate of P.T. Barnum in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The house was built from 1889-1891 next door to his Waldenmere mansion for Barnum's second wife Nancy Fish. Designed by the Bridgeport architectural firm, Longstaff and Hurd, the Richardsonian-style house was fitted with the modern conveniences of the late nineteenth century. The 30-acre grounds, later subdivided into house lots, were situated near Seaside Park, facing Long Island Sound. The grounds featured broad sloping lawns and was planted with fully grown trees, and offered both park and ocean views. The location was valued for its distance to from the urban center of Bridgeport, less than a mile away, in combination with its woods, which gate it a feeling of remoteness. Torn down in the 1960s, Marina's land is now part of the University of Bridgeport.
