Dover Sun House was one of the world's first solar-heated houses. It was designed by architect Eleanor Raymond and had a heating system developed by physicist Mária Telkes. In 1948, Mária Telkes and architect Eleanor Raymond began working on the Dover Sun House. The project was funded by philanthropist and sculptor Amelia Peabody, and built on her property in Dover, Massachusetts. The house was heated by a system designed so that sodium sulfate was allowed to melt in a solar-heated space. During the day, fans brought air through the warm space and via ducts out to the rooms of the house, at night air was brought through the same space where the salt then cooled and released its stored heat.In its first two years, the house was successful, gaining huge publicity and attracting lots of visitors. Popular Science hailed it as perhaps more important, scientifically, than the atomic bomb. The owners had to remove the system when, by the third winter, there were problems with the sodium sulfate, which had built up in layers of liquid and solid material, and its containers were corroded and leaking, and the continuous melting and cooling of the sodium sulfate prevented the substance from mixing properly.In 1954, the solar heating system was replaced by a conventional system with heating oil. The Dover Sun House was demolished sometime after 2012 and replaced by a new house that includes a large solar array

The Parsonage (also known as the Horatio Alger House) is a historic house at 16 Pleasant Street in Natick, Massachusetts. It was designated a National Historic Landmark for its association with Horatio Alger (1832-1899), a well-known writer of popular juvenile fiction. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house is believed to have been built in the 1820s by Oliver Bacon. The main facade is five bays wide, with a single-story porch that extends for most of its width. The porch is supported by four square columns, with an entablature with round-arch connections to the posts. The center entry has sidelight windows. The right (southeast) side of the house has a single-story projecting bay window, and a two-story ell with garage projects from the north rear of the house, creating an L shape.Horatio Alger was a prolific writer of somewhat formulaic upbeat rags-to-riches stories aimed primarily at boys. His works were immensely popular, but were not highly regarded by critics. Alger lived in New York City, but spent his summers at this house, where is father, parson to the Eliot Church, lived. The house had been purchased from Oliver Bacon by H. H. Hunnewell, specifically to support the elder Alger. The younger Alger was a regular visitor to the house between 1866 and 1877, and then again from 1879 until 1898, when he moved into the house. He died at his sister's house in Natick in 1899.The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1971, and included in the John Eliot Historic District in 1977.
