In addition to selling the standard array of old building materials and fixtures, Virginia-based Salvagewrights also specializes in rescuing historic structures. We had the pleasure of accompanying owner Craig Jacobs to the site of a 5,000-square-foot clapboard house that he is in the process of dismantling and moving to the other side of the county. It was being moved to make way for an industrial park. Is anyone aware of instances of entire brownstones being saved and moved to another site in the New York?

In NYC we dont move brownstones, we level them down to make a space for new big developments – just a local tradition
I have not heard of brownstone being relocated, but the coincidence is remarkable because just last night I imagined moving my house to my wife’s home town in Michigan. I imagined moving it to a lot where we could have a garage and a wood lot.
