A Moving Experience

The Wetherby cottage finally moved yesterday. I am glad. I had spent nearly the entire month of October brokering an agreement between the owner and people who wanted to save the structure. Fortunately we were successful. I never imagined my term as president of Friends of Historic Preservation would end before it moved.

Here are some more links.
