Houses on the move!

145 South Lassen Street, Susanville, October 1976.

For me, I find it of a particular interest the number of residences that instead of being demolished, were moved to another location.  Take for instance the former home of Dr. J.S. Wren located on the corner of Mill and South Lassen Streets. The property was to be the future home of Western Title Insurance Company. At daylight on October 29, 1976, Jim Music had the task to move the structure to its new location on Cornell Street. All went well until the house reached the intersection of Main and Weatherlow Streets where it took about forty minutes to maneuver the building around the stop lights.
