Edison Building

Edison Building, Office building in Ontario, Canada.

The Edison Building is a head office building in Falconbridge, Greater Sudbury, Ontario, built by Falconbridge Ltd. in 1969. In 2007 Xstrata donated it to the city, and it now houses the municipal archives. It stands near Centennial Park, where Thomas Edison's 1902 ore claim was located.

Falconbridge Ltd. built the Edison Building in 1969 as its head office. The Swiss mining company Xstrata took over Falconbridge Ltd. in 2006, and in 2007 Xstrata donated the building to the city so it could house the municipal archives. The surrounding township had been named in the 1880s for William Glenholm Falconbridge, a justice of the High Court of Ontario.

The Edison Building is named for Thomas Edison, who found the ore body near today's Centennial Park in 1902 but abandoned his claim in 1903. Falconbridge Ltd. built the structure in 1969 as its head office, and in 2007 Xstrata gave it to the city for the municipal archives.

The Edison Building stands in Falconbridge, a community within Greater Sudbury, Ontario. It was donated to the city in 2007 to house the municipal archives, so it is a working civic facility rather than a visitor attraction; check access arrangements with the City of Greater Sudbury before planning a visit.

Thomas Edison discovered the ore body near today's Centennial Park in 1902, but his Edison Ore-Milling Company failed to establish a mine and abandoned the claim in 1903. The land reverted to Crown land until the Longyear Drilling Company bought it in 1911.
