House at Glenmont, Home of Thomas Edison. Edison National Historic Site, West Orange, New Jersey. Volume 1. Historic Structure Report
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 Glenmount 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. Research into the primary documentary sources included reviewing the Glenmont household and general accounts, Thomas A. Edison's private bill books, miscellaneous legal files and laboratory notebooks of Thomas A. Edison, Inc., photographic and architectural drawing collections, and Glenmont appraisals. The files of Edison NHS were examined to learn about more recent work at the house. Secondary sources such as books and unpublished reports also provided information.
