This report documents the use and occupancy of all six original buildings of Edison’s laboratory.The historic furnishings report is divided into two parts: a historical data section and a furnishings plan. The historical data section documents the occupancy, use, and furnishings, of the laboratory buildings. For rooms in which historic furnishings will be the interpretive media, the furnishings plan provides an item-by-item listing of recommended furnishings and evidence to support inclusion and placement of each object. Edison’s laboratory originally consisted of six brick buildings which contained a galvanometer laboratory, chemical laboratory, pattern shop, chemical storage room, metallurgy laboratory, library, stock room, heavy machine shop, precision machine shop, drafting room, experimental rooms, and a power house. This report documents the use and occupancy of all six original buildings. A separate section addresses furnishings and use of the gate house.
