Hearthstone
View across lawn towards the historic Hearthstone House. A historic marker is in the foreground on the left, and it reads: "Hearthstone, World's first Electric Lighted Home. On September 30, 1882 this Victorian home became the first residence electrified from a centrally located hydro-electric plant. Henry J. Rodgers, pioneer industrialist, built and lighted this home as a showplace for his wife, using the same power source that lighted his paper mill. The original Edison switches and chandeliers remain in use today." |
