This passive solar 'Harkrader House' features a solar hot water heater on the roof and multiple windows on the southern side of the home. Roxanne Quimby, the founder of Burt's Bees, owned this home for a period of time when she lived in Durham after moving Burt's Bees to North Carolina from Maine. She originally rented a Harkrader House on Lakewood Avenue, and then purchased this property.

Harkrader Houses

Richard and Lonna Harkrader built dozens of passive solar, contemporary houses in Durham in the 1970s and 1980s. The unique, environmentally-conscious and energy-economical designs have come to be known as 'Harkrader Houses' among the Durham built-environment cognescenti.
