The home was originally built by Maitland resident and carpenter William Waterhouse in 1884, as a home for his family. Visit and learn about the Waterhouse family and the early days of Maitland and Central Florida. The A&H's Telephone Museum takes visitors on a tour of communications technology and the history of the telephone. Try your hand at the working switching station and then take a look at how communications change throughout time. This exciting collection features several hands-on displays and includes the story of the Winter Park Telephone Company, founded in Maitland by Carl Galloway.
