Bell-Morton House
In 1882, this house was given to Alexander Graham Bell and his wife Mabel Hubbard as we wedding present by Mabel's father Gardiner Greene Hubbard. The Bells lived here until 1891. While living here, Bell works on the invention of wax disks for recording sound to play on Edison's phonograph. This work would evolve into phonograph records later when he worked in Georgetown. While here, Bell founded and ran the Bell Experimental School which was the first kindergarten for deaf children in America. |
