1415 North Street, Susanville, 1955. Courtesy of Wendell LaugheadLately, we have explored how old buildings were recycled such as the County Hall of Records reincarnated as the Susanville City Jail. When it comes to old homes, some times instead of being demolished to make way for a new building, they get s second life and are moved to another location. A perfect example is that of the A.J. Mathews home, originally located at 501 Main Street. Mathews father-in-law, John Cahlan had the house constructed in 1911. In 1954, it was moved to 1415 North Street to make way for a J.C. Penny store, which has a new life as Uptown Cinemas.
