Iowa to Plan Solar Heating for Capitol Complex
Des Moines officials announce a 300000 dollar appropriation to begin a solar heating project at the Iowa Capitol complex with a target 1977 operation date. State officials expect solar energy to supply 40 to 45 percent of summer cooling and about 30 percent of winter heating, though space and aesthetics pose challenges for installing panels on the bluff south of the capitol.

Landmark North Marion House Built 1869 by Rev Botkin
Edna Jones notes the house at 1106 North Marion Avenue was built in 1869 as a farmhouse by Rev. Jesse Botkin, a Methodist minister. Botkin entered the 160 acres later known as Highland Park in 1840, and Winfield Smouse bought the farm in 1892 from T. W. Thomas and laid it out into 430 city lots.
