NJ - West Orange: Edison Labaratory Complex

            Thomas Edison National Historical Park comprises of two properties in West Orange: the second Edison Laboratories complex, located at 211 Main Street, and Edison's residence, Glenmont, located about 1/2-mile down the road in Llewellyn Park.  The museum collections, with over 3000,000 items and an archives of approximately five million documents, are the largest single body of Edison-related material extant, covering Thomas Alva Edison's sixty-year career a an inventor, manufacturer, businessman and private citizen.

The Edison Laboratory complex, one of the first modern industrial labs, was designed by Henry Hudson Holly in 1887.  Edison worked here along with a staff of about sixty assistant researches, and operations continued until his death in 1931.    The complex includes more than a dozen buildings including a library, stockroom, Heavy Machine shop, Precision Machine Shop, Drafting Room, Music Room, Phonograph Gallery and the Black Maria--the world's first movie studio, which could be rotated on a turntable to keep sunlight on film subjects, that was reconstructed in 1954.
