DEARBORN — A fire in suburban Detroit has damaged a boarding house built for employees of inventor Thomas Edison that was among the first buildings to get electric lighting.
A spokeswoman for The Henry Ford museum complex says Monday afternoon's blaze was limited to the Sarah Jordan Boarding House. Carrie Nolan tells The Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press the amount of the damage isn't known.
No injuries are reported.
The house was built about 1870 in Menlo Park, N.J., and was wired for electricity in 1879. It later was moved to Dearborn as part of the Menlo Park section of Greenfield Village honoring Edison.
