Historic Structure Report, Volume II: The House at Glenmont, Home of Thomas Edison
Yocum BA. 1998. Historic Structure Report, Volume II: The House at Glenmont, Home of Thomas Edison. Historic Structure Report. Building Conservation Branch, Cultural Resources Center, National Park Service. Lowell, Massachusetts
The purpose of this historic structure report is to bring together in one comprehensive report all of the information that is known about the Edison house at Glenmont. Numerous historic structure reports had previously been written about Glenmont. However, most were partial reports that addressed only certain aspects of the house, such as “The Conservatory” or the “Chimneys”. In addition, the original household accounts and contractors’ invoices had been recently organized and made accessible by Glenmont Curator Leah Burt. Finally, a major structural stabilization contract commenced in 1985, which required that walls and floors be disassembled for the installation of structural steel. It was therefore decided that this would be a good time to gather both the physical and documentary information on the house.
