Moving the Cabin
Photo by Grover Haynes, Jr.
This gallery of 20 photos, taken by John Fisher, Neal Hunter and Janice Swing, follows the progress of the move, from Cliffside Estates to 30 Main Street. The moving crew gently placed the entire cabin, in one piece, onto a big flat-bed trailer, which then crept out onto Washington Street, and took a right on highway 120 toward the school house. All along the route, the men had to dodge and wrestle tree limbs out of the way. Many of the students at Cliffside School gathered on the school steps to view the passing parade.
Finally the unusual cargo was maneuvered into place behind the new Swing house, which is close to completion. The pace of Cliffside may seem slow, but downtown has now seen TWO dwellings erected in this new century, and it’s only 2006!
