The Butterfly House, which was built for Anderson and Ora Lee Harris, derives its name from the sharply angled roof structure that collects rainwater and shelters a screened porch. The house is largely heated and cooled passively, with assistance from a wood-burning stove. The house is now occupied by Anderson & Ora Lee’s daughter.
