At 135 years ago, Rutherford B. Hayes became the
first president in the United States (U.S.) - even in the world - who have a
home phone service as well as his office at the White House, Washington DC. At
that time, the phone is still a very new technology, invented and patented by
Alexander Graham Bell in 1876.
Pages of The History Channel television station
revealed that the telephone was installed in the telegraph in the White House.
However, at that time rarely Hayes received a phone call. Understandably, other
than in the White House, the technology is still young as well as newly
installed in the office of the Ministry of Finance.
White House phone number when it is just the number
"1". So then, the telephone communication can only be done between
the White House and Treasury.
A year later, 1878, a telephone line installed in a
mass start in the state of Connecticut. Despite the president's first phone
attached to his office, Haye could not phone in his office, but must be to the
telegram.
About 50 years later, Herbet Hoover is known as the
first U.S. president who has a telephone on his desk.
