[Phono-L] Edisonia

Ok, resident Edison nuts, I saw something a bit puzzling last night.   We
had a speaker at our historical society talk about the 4 amusement parks in
East Providence RI.  He used post card views mostly and on one of them of
Crescent Park, from the early 1900s, there was a building marked "Edisonia".
I thought it might be for movies but cylinder phono exhibition is another
possibility.  Anyone ever read/seen a description of an exhibit marked
"Edisonia" and what was in it?

Thanks,

Ron L
