Beautiful and humble home for such a great man. I respect that. Wonderful shot, Jim, thanks for sharing.

Very interesting Jimbob. By any chance, did you also get photos of the property from other locations? Were you allowed inside?

I am assuming that he had electric lighting inside. A quaint little place and probably kept to look as it was in his day. Wonderfully clear and detailed post, Jim.

A truly grand photo Jim. Well done my friend.

Jimbob - From humble beginnings here to Menlo Park, NJ, then to the history books! A nice capture of his birthplace. Thad

Very nice shot and good lighting and editing.

He had a nice house, but I don't know him. LOL Excellent photo.

I didn't know he was from Ohio! Ya learn something every day. Beautiful home and a wonderful shot of it Jim!

This one looks like a typical 'railway station' house where we live!

Nicely presented too!...

Beautiful house.But I'm afraid he didn't invent the light bulb.Only improved on it In fact another American Charles Francis Brush manufactured some carbon arcs to light a public square in Cleveland, Ohio.some two years before Edison got involved..The first electric light was invented by Humphry Davy, an English scientist in would you believe it 1800..Sir Joseph Wilson Swan In 1878,demonstrated his new electric lamps in Newcastle upon tyne, England.0ne year before Edison..This picture is a cracker...R.

A photo like from a glossy magazine! Excellent colours, composition and presentation Jimbob.

Plenty of light with all the windows for him to invent/perfect the light bulb JimboB. This is good enough for a post card. Good work.

What a neat, trim little house! You sharp, clear picture captures it well.

Beautiful looking house.Fantastic photo,Jim.Just like a post card.

Milan, OH...or something like that...Nice capture...Thanks for sharing...

Nice one, Jim - ir would make a great postcard. I toured his winter home and museum in Ft. Myers, FL - pretty cool place there also -

Nice composition to the shot. I like the little sway to the roof. It's a beautiful little home though and so is your photo.

You did a wonderful job on the presentation of this well taken image. =^..^=tigs

Beautiful posting, Jim. Great colors, wonderful clarity and focus and a perfectly balanced composition (how come you took the shot straight on when everyone tells me that you're supposed to take the shot for 45°?). I'm amazed at how small homes were back then. I think my living room is bigger than this whole house. One weird thing caught my eye (my left eye - my right eye thinks everything looks fine). The top of the roof seems to curve up slightly on the left. 6.785 out of 10.

A very small home by todays standards but no doubt a very fine home for his time. The colors and details are very good.

I always liked that story about how it took him 6000 variations to find a way to make the light bulb work. He said something to the effect that he'd found 6000 ways not to make a light bulb.

Nice to see his digs in this shot.

He was just near as smarter than I was! Such a small place for such a big personality and mind. But everybody has their own start no matter how big or small. Great image very sharp and detailed

Edison was such a unique person - truly one of the greats to come from Ohio. Lovely cottage JimBob - it is good a little of history is displayed for future generations.

What a cute house. Very cool post. It's amazing that it looks in such good shape.

hello Jim....This is a very good closeup showing plenty of detail and colour in this quaint little house....Well done...All the very best to you Jim....................Mick.

I bet Edison would smile if he saw his birthplace was so well preserved. Well done on a fine tribute to a great man.

That's a gorgeous little bungalow, I'd like that also. Gorgeous image and capture

Spetacular photo Jim! Love it, so inviting and gracious house, I would love to live there!:-)))

Wow!! Stunning and beautiful shot Jim!! The clarity and colors are superb:)

Nice to see such a well preserved house. From a humble start to a huge achievements in the field of science, Thomas A. Edison was certainly a genius of high cadre.
Great shot Jim, perfect.
