On September 30, 1882 this Victorian home became the first residence electrified from a centrally located hydro-electric plant. Henry J. Rogers, 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.
Marker is at the intersection of West Prospect Avenue and South Memorial Drive, on the right when traveling east on West Prospect Avenue.
