Turning the Corner

Turning this thing takes much time and work. There is no steering wheel. Each group of wheels is turned by hand.

 

This house is on the National Register of Historic Places and so cannot be torn down. It was built at Pratt & Meridian St. in Huntsville in the 1820s and owned by Jeremiah Clemens (1814 - 1865), a Huntsville native and U.S. Senator from Alabama and cousin of Samuel Clemens - better known to most people as Mark Twain.
