Historic Architecture, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Buildings And Structures

The Solar Building, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was the world's first commercial building to be heated primarily by solar energy. It was built in 1956 to house the engineering firm of Frank Bridgers and Donald Paxton, who were responsible for the heating system design. The novel building received writeups in Life and Popular Mechanics and was the subject of an NSF-funded research project in the 1970s. It was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1985 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
