Summary

Description

Watson experimented with the telephone in Williams' shop, and it was there that they first heard indistinct sounds transmitted on June 2, 1875. The first permanent residential telephone service in the world was installed at this house in 1877, connecting Williams' home with his shop on Court Street in Boston.[2] Williams had telephone Numbers 1 and 2 of the Bell Telephone Company.
