They are moving the Maisenbacher House from 1028 S. Seventh Street to 503 S. Street. Evidently, it is sitting on its 64 wheel new home on a side street. The 300 ton home is 46 feet wide which is one foot wider than Seventh Street. Crews have been trimming trees and preparing to move power lines and street lights when the move is actually made.
EXPERT HOUSE MOVERS
The Expert House Movers of St. Louis is handling the move. And, they are good at what they do, holding the record for moving the heaviest building ever, the Gem Theater in Detroit at 2,750 tons. They also moved North Carolina's Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. In 1998, they moved Springfield's oldest home, the Iles House, from South Fifth Street to its new home on Seventh Street.
Too Bad They Couldn't Move the Maisenbacher House to Lincoln's Neighborhood. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
