Schenectady\'s General Electric Realty Plot was formed in 1899 when the General Electric (GE) Company purchased 70 acres of land from Union College to provide unique housing opportunities for its executives and scientists and to attract brilliant minds from around the world to work for GE.
The neighborhood, colloquially known as "The Plot," would also become home to.
The original 178 homes were designed by leading architects from as far away as Boston, New York City, and Chicago.
