Englander House, a 139-year-old Victorian building in San Francisco, took several years and cost about $ 400 to move.
The 139-year-old house finally has a new address.
On Sunday, February 21st, Englander House, a historic building in the heart of the Golden City, was loaded onto a giant platform and moved from 807 Franklin Street to 635 Fulton St.
Videos and photos show the beautiful emerald green home moving — at one mile per hour (1,6 km/h) — toward its new location six blocks away. In some cases, construction workers were needed to cut branches to allow the house to pass through densely tree-lined city streets.

Phil Joy, who directed the move, told the San Francisco Chronicle that it took several years to plan the quarter-mile (400 meters) trip.
“We had to get 15 different city agencies to agree to do this,” Joy said.

Joy said the move was not easy because the house is 80 feet (24 meters) long. He added that part of the path is associated with the descent.

Tim Brown, a San Francisco-based broker who owns a six-bedroom home, paid about $ 400 in travel and fees, Chronicle reported.
