Well we knew that the move was going to happen on Tues. Sept 13th. They had no parking signs out. Trouble was Uncle Nail was a late sleeper that Morn and did not rise til pert near 2 pm. Just in time to get a few pics of the house in the middle of 3rd and Maple across from the Yack Arena. But I do take you on the route the house took to get there. A small crowd was already gathered and wiring was taking place on Biddle where the Labidie house had already passed by.
I tried to circle the place and before I knew it the flip cam said ALL FULL UP
The house is a 1894 old Victorian. This is the second time this home has been moved. It used to be on Antoine and Biddle then moved to Spruce St. in 1946. The bloody house has more miles on it than my old 82 Chevy Van.
It took most of the day but they slid it onto the corner of 3rd and Maple after chopping down a few trees. Brick layers were on the scene a couple of days later installing new footers. One shot you will see I was tapeing from Pats backyard and alley area.
