In addition to her work as a bookkeeper at Industry State Bank, Annie Scherer preserves, renovates and sells old homes, a passion she inherited from her father who flipped homes in Columbus. Continuing the family tradition, Scherer recently arranged for an old two-bedroom, one-bath house to be moved from the Houston’s Heights neighborhood to E. Main St. in Fayetteville. The ongoing remodeling project will expand the home by 300 to 400 square feet before it’s placed on the market.
