Large moving bachelor house blocks street in Omaha
A massive frame building moved by Henry Bubek halted street traffic as it dragged across Carey avenue near Twentieth street. Trolley wires and electrical lines were cut to permit passage, delaying queues on both sides. The structure, headed for Warren Avenue near First Baptist Church, will become a bachelor rooming house with at least twenty rooms once remodeled, and was moved in parts using horse power and tackle to overcome its width and weight.
