Eastham’s Demolished – The construction boom in Bethesda continues, and its latest victim is the former Eastham’s auto service center. Workers demolished the last remnant of the former Exxon station at 7100 Wisconsin Ave. over the weekend. Eastham’s opened at the location in 1929. The property is the future site of the $60 million Solaire Bethesda, a 139-unit luxury apartment building being constructed by Washington Property Company.
Eastham’s moved to a new location at the corner of Fairmont Avenue and Old Georgetown Road, although that’s just temporary, as the site is also slated for future development.
