DescriptionEdison machine works goerck street new york 1881.png
English: An 1881 photograph of the The Edison Machine Works, formerly the Etna Iron Works, located on Goerck Street, Manhattan by Edison employee Charles L. Clarke.
The Edison Machine Works was a manufacturing company set up to produce dynamos, large electric motors, and other components of the electrical illumination system being built by Thomas A. Edison in New York City in the 1880s.
This section of Manhattan's Lower East Side was cleared in the 1950s to make way for the large
Baruch Houses project so the building and Goerck Street itself no longer exists.
