A fact from General Electric Realty Plot appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 18 September 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the researchers who lived in the GE Realty Plot (houses on Stratford Road, pictured) in Schenectady, New York, were collectively responsible for over 400 patents and one Nobel Prize?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/September.

First all electric house in nation

Local lore has it that the first all electric house was a showcase home here at the GE Realty Plot, I havent found a reliable source for this, only promotional sites such as the website for the Parker Inn, a boutique hotel in downtown Schenectady. Someone with more time may be able to verify this fact or show it to be an urban legend.Camelbinky (talk) 23:31, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
