One of the more unusual and attractive house designs in Lakewood, and in Durham, is the Sessoms-Markham house, with its large front and side gambrel-roof gable and wrapped front porch. The house was inhabited for many years by JO Markham, a Liggett and Myers employee. At some point in the last 30 years, the house was converted to commercial use and houses offices, as do many of the former houses on this portion of Chapel Hill Road.
