teen rooms and we were fortunate indeed to find
the house standing and well preserved.
We took it down bit by bit-even to the bricks
of the chimneys-and the present house at Dearborn has in it hardly a nail that was not in the
old house. We found a good portion of the original furniture and have reproduced most of the
rooms as they originally were, with the exception of one room and in that I have put some
of the furniture from Mr. Edison's birthplace at
Milan, Ohio.
Thus the whole group is complete in every
detail-inside and out. And anyone who wishes
will be able to see the surroundings, the tools
and even to feel something of the atmosphere
of this place of mighty endeavor. For from out of
these buildings came the carbon transmitter, the
phonograph, the incandescent lamp, and the
Edison system of electrical distribution, the commercial dynamo, the electric railway, the megaphone, the tasimeter, and many other inventions.
Here also was continued Edison's earlier work
on the quadruplex, sextuplex, multiplex and
automatic telegraphs, and here also he did his
pioneering in wireless telegraphy.
