Mollison Home
605 East Avenue B

In 1929, Ernest Mollison became the manager of Alpine's premier
"picture show", the
Granada Theater. He and his family lived in this home from at least 1929
until 1943. Records show that it was built by
F.E. Weyerts for
J.D. Becker and Wise between July and September of
1928.
Numerous owners and renters have occupied
the premises since the Mollisons.
Long term owners were the
Hal Burnett family, pioneer Pecos County
farmers and
ranchers, who bought the property in 1950. They sold it to
John VanDreumel in 1986.
During his ownership, the home was enlarged and remodeled.
Present owners of this early 20th century home are Vic and
Meredith
Horn who bought it in January of 2010. Horn, a building contractor and
owner of Covenant Construction, has done extensive remodeling.
Both exterior and interior changes have been made. Use of old materials
have been used in unique and innovative ways, and the home exhibits all
the beauty and charm of an earlier time.
