    Independent of the Sun Light, Energy & the American Home, 1913-1933 A Whole-House Exhibit at the Trail End State Historic Site, March 2007 - December 2007 Homeowners today take light, power and heat for granted, regardless of the time of day or month of the year. Prior to the advent of electricity and gas, however, humankind’s activities were largely constrained by the rising and setting of the sun, the time of which changed depending upon the season. It became science’s challenge to find a way to extend the light of day into the dark of night. “Back in the days when flickering candles and smoky lamps were the only means of lighting, men were striving to make themselves independent of the sun.” Better Homes & Gardens, 1927 Through careful study of period magazines, books and newspapers, and drawing upon the expertise of more modern researchers, Independent of the Sun seeks to show how the coming of electricity changed the American home in ways unimaginable to those who first fiddled with its powers. Illustrations are from the variety of period magazines donated to Trail End over the years. The Sun of Our Home Thanks to the efforts of Thomas Alva Edison, electricity first entered a select number of American homes in 1882 (Britain beat us by a few months, introducing electrical power to a INDEPENDENT OF THE SUN - 1 - WWW.TRAILEND.ORG small town in Surrey in late 1881). By 1913, just over sixteen percent of America’s urban homes had electric service. By the early 1930s, that number had risen to over 85 percent.
