NJ - West Orange: Edison Labaratory - Library The library of the Building 5, the main laboratory building at the Edison Laboratory complex, also served as Edison's office. He filled the shelves with books and journals from around the world on scientific and technical topics so his staff could do research, examine related patents and learn about the latest scientific theories. 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.

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. Glenmont, a Queen Anne-style home originally designed by architect Henry Hudson Holly, was built between 1880 and 1882 for Henry Pedder in Llewellyn Park, thought to be the country's first planned residential community, which was founded along the first range of the Watchung Mountains in 1853 by Llewellyn Solomon Haskell. Pedder was forced to surrender the estate after it was discovered that he funded its construction with embezzle funds from the Arnold Constable Company. Edison purchased the distressed asset in 1886 for $125,000 and moved in with his second wife, Mina, and his three children from his first marriage. Mina raised three children of her own with Thomas in the house, including future New Jersey governor Charles Edison. The house originally comprised of 23 rooms with cutting edge features for its time including with gravity-convection central heat, indoor flush toilets, and hot and cold piped water. Edison added six more rooms and electrical wiring. The house, which is open to the public, retains all its original furnishings in an Eastlake style interior.
