When a two-block area on Mero Street in Frankfort was cleared to make way for the new Transportation Cabinet office building in 2001, one of the existing structures was saved. The Sigmund Luscher house, which originally sat on the north end of Ann Street, was moved to a new location at 114 Clinton Street.
Once it was resituated after the move, the old house became the office of a law firm.
Moving a Victorian-era cottage from 1213 Newning, Fairview Park (Travis Heights), Austin. The house was most likely built by ca. 1910.

Built in 1897, this 80-ton building facade was relocated on four self-propelled dollies from its original location to make room for the massive River Park Place condominium project in Louisville, KY.
The nest of timbers in the foreground will support the house until a new foundation can be built under it.
The State Office Building, at right, was the former home of the Transportation Cabinet. In the center distance can be seen fortress-like Jackson Hall, 1887, on the campus of Kentucky State University.
Sigmund Luscher was a native of Switzerland who moved to the U.S., settled in Frankfort in the 1860s, and operated an ice house and a brewery. He built this Italianate-style house in 1868.
I got this image at about 7:45AM on my way to work. The movers had bashed a couple large holes in the basement walls and inserted the steel beams and dollies, or trucks, that ultimately support the entire load. The jacks are visible in front that raise everything into position. Proceed to step 3.

The 109-ton heritage building, built in 1885, moved over 40’ bridge jumpers to cross a highway median on a six mile route for relocation.
This is what I had come to shoot when I found the Foden.

Lots of big things are happening with the Pritchard House very, very soon. Finally. It took long enough.
The County has finally signed the stabilization contract with Youngblood Housemovers - a company that the North Brevard Heritage Foundation has used many times before for moving the Taylor-Dunn House, the Oliver's Camp House and the Hutcheson Barn. So it works out happily that they would be the ones chosen for the Pritchard House Stabilization.
Let me say this once - to the locals in the area: No. The house is NOT going anywhere except up about two or three feet and then back down again. And that's just for building new foundation piers. The company has said they'll keep an eye out for any old items that are found under the house and turn them into the Foundation. Already a panel of the original fence was drug out from underneath the house, along with bits of a Nippon late 1910s child's tea set. Who knows what else could be under there.
Also - the andirons and fireirons that were recently found in the ashes of the Dining Room fireplace were returned to the Foundation, after Mr. Weaver, our furniture restorer, sandblasted them and gave them a new polish. They are absolutely gorgeous - and I believe they match a pair seen in an 1890s photograph of the Reception Hall.
With all of this moving along - we now have a commencement date on the house. Youngblood projects that work will start on September 15th, or thereabouts, as there may be a delay in the city approving the permits, etc. Unlike what I had thought before, the porches will remain attached to the house throughout the two to three month process of stabilization. The porch columns will be braced with steel girders and be watched for any sagging or unwanted movement. The house will have hydraulic jacks placed underneath it, and the structure will be lifted two to three or four feet high. While the house is up in the air, the old foundation piers will be dismanteled and a new set of piers - twenty four of them - will be constructed. After the house is set back down on its new piers, the porches will then either be disassembled and reconstructed, or the columns will be replaced with columns of the original design (These had been changed in a 1991 reconstruction of the porch).
This news has got me all excited - but I'll miss some of the first stages of the work! I'll be on the Big Trip (TM). But when I get back, I promise to run up to the house and see how work is coming along. This all means that the Interior Restoration Review Board (Or whatever it's called. We've never really selected an official name for ourselves.) can start meeting and work again - replicating wallpaper from the Reception Hall that was newly discovered (behind the fireplace) and doing the same in the Dining Room. I'll throw myself into the work - but it will be fun, and I plan on taking lots of shots along the process for the Foundation's big art show in the spring.
Oooh... almost forgot: I had one of those "Eureka!" moments with my camera today. Took my new polarizing filter for a spin today - and loved it. But then, I added on top of that my sepia filter - which also polarizes and.... Eureka! I love this effect. It's better than any other shots that the sepia filter could produce. Of course, it'll take some practice, but I've got the whole Big Trip (TM) to figure that out.

Silky Perkins' historic family home, located along Sycamore Canyon Road outside of Clarkdale for 100 years, is being relocated to Perkinsville.
This house was being moved from the end of Shelby Street to Battle Alley, to make way for the South Frankfort floodwall, September 1995.
The floodwall was built on the south bank of the Kentucky River. In March 1997, not long after the floodwall was completed, the Kentucky flooded again, but most all of South Frankfort--for the first time in history--was kept dry.
The house being moved in the picture is now used as an office building.

The historic Jones House in Odenton , MD in its new home up the street from where it used to be for over 100 years. This photo was taken just a few hours after the move. The HouseMovers are still at work taking off the wheels and placing the house back on the blocks until the new foundation is built.

Raising and moving this 605-ton circa 1734 solid masonry building won us an award for the heaviest building moved on dollies.

This brick home was 48' long and 32' wide and weighed 160-tons. We moved this off the Fort Knox military base and relocated it a mile down the road using six self-propelled dollies.
