About

With a resemblance to the famous Abraham Lincoln statue in the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., this imposing statue at the Bell Telephone Company office in Brantford surprises many passersby.

Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone at his family's house in Brantford and made the first long-distance call there as well. This statue is one of several monuments in "The Telephone City" dedicated to Bell.

The building isn't open to the public, but you can see the larger-than-life Alexander Graham Bell from the street.
