Yesterday was house-moving day in Ann Arbor as three complete houses were trucked from their original locations to new sites. Here, two houses sold by the University to individuals make the turn from N. Fifth Ave. where the U-M will build a new women's athletic building. A third house was removed from the city's newly-acquired parking lot on N. Ashley St.
