Named for original owner Minnie Harden, this flamingo-pink Eastside duplex is the result of 3,500 volunteer hours over three years under the leadership of community activist Bo McCarver. It'll soon house a low-income family and features two wheelchair-accessible gardens and two 400-gallon rain barrels. The back half is an experimental solar home with rooftop solar panels, a solar water heater, and an assortment of sustainable materials. The project was spearheaded by the nonprofit Blackland Community Development Corp., which received assistance from Shelter With Spirit, a local nonprofit providing grants for renovations utilizing green-building technology.
