The 150-year-old stone and brick facade of the Heigold House began its journey yesterday to a new location with help of four large self-propelled dollies and wood platforms.
The facade, which has been a fixture off River Road near Towhead Island since 1955, will become a signature entrance to Butchertown once its move to nearby Frankfort Avenue is complete.
Edwards Moving & Rigging of Simpsonville moved the facade a short distance to the west yesterday, where it will sit until some power lines are moved.
The facade will then be moved a bit farther west to a temporary spot in a nearby Waterfront Park parking lot.
The facade will probably move to its new home on Frankfort just south of River Road this summer.
