1981 Press Photo Frank and Nicky Luxton, heat room

Every photo in our collection is an original vintage print from a newspaper or news service archive, not a digital image. Please see our FAQ for more information.

Description
Caption: Frank and Nicky Luxton expect their Clawson house to be snug for winter with a new rear addition to capture and store the sun's heat. The interior, above, stores heat in a brick floor and in head storage rods (in the white box at left and in top detail photo). The exterior wall, at right, has two layers of opaque fiberglass with 1 1/2 inches of air between. Heat from the storage rods is drawn by a fan above them into the family room.

The front and back of this photograph are pictured below.
