Note 28 — Unit X FURNISHING THE BEDROOM, SUNROOM, KITCHEN, AND BREAKFAST ROOM

Ancient Roman houses often had an apartment or enclosure on the roof which was open to the sun, and accordingly known as the solarium. This term is applied to the sun-drenched rooms built into modern hospitals for the use of convalescents, and also is employed by architects and writers as a substitute for sunroom in the modern house.
