Actually there were two original buildings, 10 and 12 (motor/gen coils) and I worked in 12 and a bunch more in my 42 years there. Both are now either parking or part of the green space GE created when they sealed and covered that polluted ground along with the 3 Zone parking lot in the late '80s to mid '90s.
Yes, Tesla advocated AC and ceated a major rift between him and Edison and Steinmetx though Westinghouse made it happen

Yup, I worked in 10. Watched as they tore down 12. Sad day indeed. Ended up working in the Research Lab that Steinmetz built. I believe Edison's desk is still there along with a chunk of bamboo that he used to make carbon strips for his light bulbs. Can't verify as I've been out for 20yrs now.
