Demolition of the historic Fry building in downtown Natchez is expected to begin by March 2026, paving the way for the revitalization of the adjacent Eola Hotel.
Although the 1950s-era building is considered architecturally significant by state preservation officials, the Mississippi Department of Archives & History has approved its removal — provided full documentation is completed beforehand.
The city has hired Waycaster Architects to lead that effort, with more than $1 million in federal cleanup and redevelopment funds supporting the transformation of the site into a parking lot.
