Out With Old, In With New

A seventy five year old home on Pecan St in Fairhope’s Fruit and Nut District meets its demise the morning of JUN 19 2025. Greg and Courtney Eidson bought the property in February and plan to build a new home on the lot. The Eidsons say restoring what was already there was not a viable option because the structure was in such poor condition. But Greg says they did the next best thing they could, by saving a lot of what was inside. Windows, heart pine flooring and some appliances were among the items retrieved before demolition starts. “We wanted to recycle as much as possible,” Greg says. Lynn Nolen will be the builder. The Eidsons are keeping a pool in the backyard, and they won’t have to go far for help deciding on how the home will look inside–besides being an artist, Courtney is an interior designer.
