Moving a House by Community Consent and Hefty Gear
The district law requires the moving of a house to win consent from a block’s owners on the side to which it moves and from owners within 150 feet on the opposite side. If these majorities do not approve, the relocation is halted. The process uses jacks, heavy rollers, a windlass, and a pulling team to lift and slide the structure, with preparation following consent. Also listed are prominent suffragists and advocates for women’s ballots, including Lincoln, Sumner, Seward, and Garfield among others.
