A Bell Connection
S2 • E4 Dec 16, 2003 30m
First, a couple in Chicago's Mormon Park neighborhood restores their home and finds a secret storage area full of artifacts from the first owner, who was a well-known area doctor. They also discover his connection to Alexander Graham Bell. Next, an attic gives a Mississippi man many clues to the history of his house and the Hampton family, who lived there for nearly a century. Then, a couple digs up the heritage of their home, when a bottle collector asks to mine their backyard. The buttons, bottles and buildings uncovered tell quite a story about the house and its earlier owners.
