Rutherford Hayes was the first president to use a telephone at the White House . Since the Bell phone was invented in 1876 when Grant was in office, it is possible that he was given the opportunity to use a phone, but I can find no record he did. Hayes talked on a telephone in 1877 and had one installed in the White House in 1879. The only call that Hayes could make was to the treasury department.
The White House is the home of the US President and his family and serves as the headquarters of the Executive Branch of the government.
Rutherford B. Hayes had the first telephone installed in the White House in 1879, The only place he could call was the Treasury since there were no switchboards in those day. Nonetheless Hayes saw great potential use for the telephone .
