Alexander Graham Bell in Washington, DC
In 1882, John Thornton Brodhead sold his home at 1500 Rhode Island Avenue to Gardiner Green Hubbard, Alexander Graham Bell's father-in-law, to be used as the DC home for the Bell family.
In 1891, Alexander Graham Bell and his cousin Charles Bell, both son-in-laws of Hubbard, built their own houses next to each other in Dupont Circle, both just across the street from Hubbard. Alexander built at 1331 and Charles at 1325 Connecticut Avenue.
