I wonder if one could make a viable business of moving rowhouses with great bones to more desirable locations.

A Family business - Met Mr Wolfe, his sons, and a few grandsons. German Baptists IIRC, at first I thought it was really odd thing for Amish tourists, but that was just more of the family passing by on a road trip. Wish I had had more time to explore the intersection between simple 18th century lifestyle, and moving buildings.

Some more of family - the boys are sweeping gravel off of the plates as the house inches along.
