There were some young folks who wanted to move it. The moving was going to cost 70K and moving wires and phone poles was going to cost 30K. In all with a new poured concrete foundation the total cost would have been over 200K.

The house is all brick exterior and many of the interior walls are brick as well. It is a heavy dude. They would have had to move it up 13th street which is one of the steepest in town....like san francisco.

One of my daughters and her husband want to get some stuff so hopefully we can be the successful bidders on some things.

Thanks for the thoughts!
