Westinghouse Electric Lamp Company
 
Per 150 years around Green, Westinghouse moved to Bloomfield from Brooklyn in 1906.
 
Westinghouse Lamp Company (near the time of its construction about 1920) is believed to have been Bloomfield's largest business, employing about 2,000 people. This facility made light bulbs until it was closed in [1960]. The building was demolished shortly thereafter.
