A unique house-moving operation was performed this morning, when these two structures, formerly a single residence, were moved from the site of the Veterans Administration Hospital at Fuller Rd. and Glacier Way to adjacent lots on Fuller Rd. and Cedar Bend Dr. a quarter mile towards Ann Arbor. Co-owners of the home are Vernon Hedin and Pat Gossett, who said the separate houses will be offered for sale when relocated and redecorated.

HOUSE ON WHEELS: Broadway -- one of Ann Arbor's widest streets -- is almost completely filled as this house is rolled from its previous location at 1314 N. University Ave. to a new address on Pear St. It was moved to make room for the University's new Woman's Athletic Building. Charles J. Botero, a U-M graduate student, owns the house which is pictured here just north of the Broadway Bridge.

House-moving has become fairly commonplace in Ann Arbor, with residences transferred to make way for new buildings, but seldom are the houses routed through business districts. This one, moved to make way for a parking lot for the Muehlig Funeral Chapel on Fourth Ave., was photographed at a busy campus area intersection, S. State St. and N. University Ave. It was being moved to 259 Crest Ave. Strangely, the house was first transported east, on a selected route, although its destination was on the west side of the city. The route was Liberty to State St., then to Rose St., White St., Stadium Blvd., W. Liberty St. and finally to Crest.
