Artifact Overview

When Edison moved to Menlo Park, New Jersey, in spring of 1876 the laboratory building (pictured here) contained his entire operation -- a handful of collaborators, office, library, and machine shop as well as laboratory. As the scale of Edison's investigations grew so did the complex, but this building -- dedicated to experimental activities -- was always understood to be the heart of the enterprise.
