Mobile homes move with team of oxen in Washington Georgia
In Washington Georgia a dozen nineteenth century prefab houses were transported within town by teams of oxen and disassembled or reassembled on new lots. Historian Robert M Willingham Jr describes moving methods, configuration of two story rooms and central corridors, and later addition of columns likely by the same mason. Mr Willingham notes one house moved in 1838 to accommodate marriage.
