Nela Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nela Park is the traditional headquarters of GE Lighting, and is located in East Cleveland, Ohio. Today GE Lighting is a part of GE's Consumer and Industrial business which is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. Nela Park still serves as the operating headquarters of the lighting division.
Development of the site was started in 1911, when the National Electric Lamp Company (NELA) was dissolved and absorbed into General Electric. It was first industrial park in the world, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The campus emulates a university setting, and the dominant architectural style is Georgian Revival. The 92 acre campus is home to GE's Lighting & Electrical Institute, which was founded in 1933. Each December, Nela Park puts up a holiday lighting display, which culminates in a miniature version of the National Christmas Tree designed by GE Lighting.
