The Charles Williams Jr House

[The Telephone Museum]

We all know the famous words of Alexander Graham Bell, "Mr. Watson Come Here I need you" spoken in 1876. That first use of a telephone occurred in Bell's lab in Boston. Of course, Bell didn't stop there. His lab occupied space at the Charles Williams Jr. shop where Williams manufactured telegraph equipment. Because of that relationship, Williams' home at 1 Arlington St. in Somerville, Mass. was the first to have a permanent telephone line. Installed on April 4, 1877, the line connected Williams factory at 109 Court St. to 1 Arlington St. The house is currently on the market and we have a chance to save a piece of engineering history by helping to turn the house into a museum as well as a technology learning center for children and young adults.
