Moving it was quite the project. My dad bought the lot from James Higley in 1960. Dad and Jim became good friends as well as neighbors and many a spirited horseshoe game was played in Jim's backyard. Dad originally wanted to move the house to a lot on Line Avenue but dealing with additional Power and Telephone lines make that cost prohibitive. The 2 block move took only the morning. I was allowed to leave school early to see them move it and it was resting on its present location by the time I got there. My father Jim lived there 37 years until his death in 1997, my mother Ruth Hall lived in the house for 47 years.
