A large Victorian 1880s was picked up and six blocks moved from Franklin Street to Fulton Street.
Giant dolls carry it about one mile per hour and it costs $ 400,000 dollars. More than a dozen city agencies have agreed to the relocation.
Nothing to see here, just a historic Victorian house in San Francisco down the street! Today, it is being moved by 6 blocks for more than $ 400,000. It’s an old place near Turk, and Franklin will soon house more than 60 apartments. @ abc7newsbayarea

The move was no easy task. Power lines, parking meters and street lights were removed for the move. and Muni had to divert some bus lines
The house with six bedrooms and three bathrooms still has the original wood and ‘anchor bolts’ from the 19th century.
The mover says homes like these are worth preserving instead of demolishing.
