Description
Description | The Dover Sun House, constructed in 1948 in Dover, Massachusetts, was one of the earliest solar-heated homes. It was developed as part of MIT's solar energy research project, featuring a solar heating system designed by architect Eleanor Raymond and inventor Maria Telkes. The house used large glass windows to capture sunlight, warming air circulated into tanks filled with Glauber's salt to store heat. Despite initial public interest and tours, the system proved unreliable in cold, cloudy winters, leading to the abandonment of solar heating and eventual demolition of the house. |
