Puzzle Description:

Solar House constructed in 1939 by MIT. This was the first house in America to be heated by the sun's energy. A worker is putting solar panels into place on the roof.

Wow - I didn't know solar power was being tried back then. A fun puzzle and I learned something new. Well Done!

Ditto #1. I like the guy on the roof.

Levi, this is an example of passive solar design, not solar generation of power. Photovoltaic panels didn't exist in 1939. Here's a drawing of the house, showing why you didn't ever want to let it get cold in the winter: http://www.artistsdomain.com/dev/eere/web/1940.html

Thanks, Levi and Adam. Thanks for the link, David.

Here is the link with the photo I used, hence the mirror image.
