Telegraph House, Victorian hotel in Baddeck, Canada

Telegraph House stands as an 1861 establishment at 479 Chebucto Street, featuring 18 rooms in the main lodge and additional motel accommodations.

The building served as the office of the first Trans-Oceanic Cable Company, where initial telegraph messages across North America were transmitted.

Charles Dudley Warner documented his 1873 stay at Telegraph House in his published work 'Baddeck, And That Sort of Thing' the following year.

The hotel maintains various lodging options, from Victorian-style rooms with private baths to cabin accommodations with soaker tubs and kitchen facilities.

Alexander Graham Bell's room remains preserved in its original Victorian configuration from his 1885 visit, containing one queen and one single bed.
