Taken from an angle that shows the side of the house, this view records the Washington home that Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, occupied from 1892 to 1922, when the address was 1331 Connecticut Avenue and was later renumbered 1355. The house stood among the row houses lining the avenue around 1900, when the street was filling with residences for professional and government families. Bell's Washington years overlapped with his experiments in aviation and other inventions. The photograph comes from a family collection assembled by Gilbert H. Grosvenor, Bell's son-in-law and longtime editor of National Geographic.
