A 139-year-old Victorian house was moved in one piece through the streets of San Francisco to its new home Sunday.<\/p>\n
The 5,170-square-foot\u00a0house<\/a>, known as the Englander House, was relocated from its original address at 807 Franklin St. to 635 Fulton St., just a few blocks away.<\/p>\n The move turned into something like a parade, with fascinated onlookers coming out to watch a truck slowly and carefully pull the historic house through the streets of the city.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s the most excitement I\u2019ve had in 10 years. What if it topples?\u201d one spectator, Camilla Blomqvist, told the\u00a0San Francisco Chronicle<\/a>.<\/p>\n The house is owned by San Francisco resident Tim Brown, who bought it in 2013 with plans to fix it up after it fell into disrepair, according to\u00a0Hoodline<\/a>. The house, as well as the old mortuary it will now sit beside, will be combined and turned into a 17-unit apartment building,\u00a0SF Gate reported<\/a>, and a 47-unit apartment complex will be built on the lot where the house previously sat.<\/p>\n
