Eumenean Hall Construction

Eumenean Hall is constructed
from 1841-1849 on
Davidson College’s campus.

“Eumenean” is Ancient Greek
for “Good Spirits”.

1990

Owners Duncan Spears and Rogers King
meet as incoming freshman
at Davidson College,
forming a lifelong friendship.

After graduating from Davidson College,
Rogers and Duncan both pursue
professional careers.

1994

Duncan attends University of Virginia’s
School of Law, earning a Juris Doctor.

1997

Rogers attends Vanderbilt University’s
Owen Graduate School of Management,
where he earns a Masters of Business Administration.

2001

While Duncan practices law and
Rogers works as a consultant,
the two begin renovating homes,
eventually evolving a part-time pursuit
into a full time passion.

Creating something tangible while seeing
concrete results at the end of the day,
provides a level of satisfaction not found
in the world of paperwork, teleconferences,
and cubicles for both Duncan and Rogers.

2004

Duncan and Rogers spend several years
renovating homes for resale
with much success.

As a satisfied customer base grows
and positive word-of-mouth referrals
flow in, Eumenean’s workload
and, more importantly, its focus
transition from speculation homes
to extensive, custom client renovations
and multi-million-dollar new homes.
