Inspected this amazing home in Springfield just down from the Frank Lloyd house that was built in 1916, it originally had automated gates on the driveway the wood work in all the rooms was beautiful, the bathrooms had claw footed tubs and original tile work on the walls and floor.
What really impressed me was this amazing 
telephone system between all the rooms and the kitchen as well as the “servants” quarters. Who would have thought that just 20 years after the first intercom system was invented, a home in Springfield would have such a modern piece of equipment.
The first successful clear speech telephone call was made by Alexander Graham Bell and Watson on March 10, 1876,
Notice the difference between the house phones and the phones for the kitchen and servants quarters!
