If you were downtown during the lunch hour on Tuesday you may have noticed a wide load making its through the Gaslamp. The historic home that once sat in Little Italy for more than a century was moved to Barrio Logan to make room for a residential high-rise.
Onlookers pulled out their phones to watch the 1,400 square-foot historic home maneuver through one-way streets and over trolley tracks through the Gaslamp.
The owners of the historic home say it’s been a long time coming.

sounds like a bunch of BS and PR, they are making money like bandits
I like those architects.
Disgusting🤢who needs another high rise
Advancing forward with more dense housing while preserving our history, I like this
So sad littly italy is trash now. NO ITALIAN character, re name it something else!
Wow! These guys are so cool!
I bet the guys at 1632 Union aren't too happy about a high rise next door.
Nothing like removing history for people to remove and forget.
If you’re building a high rise, you don’t need to care.
Preserving history would be leaving it where it was and not building another high rise that nobody can afford to live in.
WTF, is this a joke? You can't move a house and say it's still a part of history in its new location. Dense urban properties = maximizing PROFITS
massive house moving while the massive amout of homless people watch 😂😂😂 Hella offensive
City said pay 500k to move this old house so you can make 100+million to keep over developing San diego , Rich power head who doesn't even live in San diego nor gives a ef'n f about it said done
End trafficking of all which includes rape not temporarily, forever 🏳️🌈🎃🏳️🌈🕯🏳️🌈🎃🏳️🌈
🤔 Can't be to historic, if have to feel the need to relocate it, instead of leaving in place, where it's sat now.
The same thing is happening soon on G St and 14th St in East village. They will be moving a beautiful 3 story house.
If historic why was the property not protected under the Mills Act. I recall an episode PBS Ken Kramer "About San Diego" regarding a house in Little Italy which the family said they would never sell. Unsure if this is the same one. Also tax revenue received by the city must not have been too great. Tax revenue generated by a 24 story development lots of money. City makes money developers make sweet money. History 🥺
Wow, impressive company. Thanks for your efforts. 👏
lol how did they move a whole house like that, imagine if it falls and breaks 😂
Can someone explain why they did this in the middle of the day, during lots of traffic? 🤔
They didn’t WANT to tear out down?? Doubt that. I’m petit sure it’s designated historic & they couldn’t tear it down. It worked out for everyone but its wasn’t An act of altruism l. Come on
