Fred Keck and others designed and built solar-heated homes starting in 1940. Two prime groupings are in Glenview and Glencoe, Illinois.
A few photos will illustrate: first from Glenview and next from Glencoe.
The Wisconsin Historical Society has recently added Keck building photos online from many eras. More to come.
