The house was built in 1882, was moved to a new location to make room for a condominium development. According to the consultant overseeing the project, the move cost approximately $400,000 and involved removing street lights, parking meters, and utility lines. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9284495/139-year-old-house-rolls-new-San-Francisco-address.html?ito=social-facebook 12 Likes 2 Shares

That 200,000 usd could build another house. Modified. Pls to those quoting me 200'000 could build another house doesn't mean, I wanted them to destroy the property. But I wonder how they spend so much money to preserve culture and their heritage, while Nigeria we have lost ours. 29 Likes 3 Shares |

People look on as workers prepare to move a 139-year-old Victorian house, known as the Englander House, to a new location. A woman watches from her window as workers prepare to move a 139-yea- old Victorian house. The truck carrying the home maneuvers around a turn during Sunday's move. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9284495/139-year-old-house-rolls-new-San-Francisco-address.html?ito=social-facebook 3 Likes

The house's journey has been in the planning stages for nearly eight years. The route it took from its location in Franklin Street to its new home at 635 Fulton Street is seen above. An artist's rendering shows what the home will look like at it's new site at 635 Fulton Street. This Google street view shows the home in its original location, right next to a gas station on Franklin Street before Sundays move. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9284495/139-year-old-house-rolls-new-San-Francisco-address.html?ito=social-facebook 5 Likes

I notice houses built in the west last very long. Hardly will you find a house this aged in Nigeria still standing tall. The 80years old building in my town is almost dead, how do they do it? What are we not doing? 16 Likes 3 Shares |

According to the consultant overseeing the project, the move cost approximately $200,000 and involved removing street lights, parking meters, and utility lines........just imagine if it was to be Nigeria that $200,000 dollars will be for the payment of committee members to look into the possibility of moving the house to a new location,then another $200,000 dollars for the part payment of consultants to design the route it will pass 17 Likes |
