Reginald A. Fessenden House
Reginald A. Fessenden House, Historic residence in Chestnut Hill, Newton, Massachusetts, US
The Reginald A. Fessenden House features a three-story brick structure with a stuccoed exterior, tile roof, hooded entry, and large central chimney.
The residence belonged to inventor Reginald Fessenden from 1919 to 1932, who conducted pioneering work in radio technology and wireless communication systems.
The National Historic Landmark designation in 1976 recognizes Fessenden's contributions as the first person to transmit human voice through radio waves.

The residence contains the laboratory where Fessenden developed amplitude modulation technology, leading to the first voice broadcast in radio history.
