The Englander House in San Francisco, a 139-year-old home owned by a real estate guy, was picked up and placed on a flatbed trailer and transported a whole 7 blocks away to its new address.
The Victorian architectural masterpiece is a 5,170-square-foot (roughly 480-square-meter) house that has been around since 1882. It was transported at the average speed of 1 mile per hour (1.6 kilometers per hour) for 0.6 miles (roughly a kilometer) from 807 Franklin St. to 635 Fulton St.
This is commitment! But good for him for preserving some history while doing it (even if it did cost him 400K to do so!). Check out some footage of the move above!
This is really neat. I love these old houses.
I know I would get stuck behind them somehow.
