Description
These two switchboards were used on Islesboro from ca. 1915 to 1962. They were located in a small house on Pendleton Point Road in Dark Harbor and operated by a crew led by Mrs. Charles Philbrick (Mrs. Phil).
Islesboro was one of the last communities in the United States to switch to the dial system, an event so momentous that Life Magazine sent a reporter to document the event.
