The damage was estimated at seven million dollars in 1914, the year that the fire devastated the laboratories, only two million of which was insured. While watching the flames consume building after building, Edison said to other onlookers that it offered him an opportunity to build more suitable and innovative labs with the most up-to-date equipment.
