On The Move
Two houses that had stood along South Jackson Street for decades made their way to the center of the DePauw University campus Monday and Tuesday in a house-moving effort coordinated by Joe Spiker Excavating, Greencastle, with the expertise of MCF House Movers, Washington. The houses first traveled across South Jackson Street (below) on Monday, coming to rest in the DePauw parking lot west of the Lilly Center until overhead power lines could be moved out of the way Tuesday morning. That enabled the buildings to make their way east on Olive Street, turning south onto Locust Street (above) before coming to rest at their new location on two lots south of the DPU Media Center. The houses were moved to make room for a new entrance to the parking area for DPU's expanding Blackstock athletic complex.
