House Moving (289 words) |
 | In contrast to the present, when housing structures are seldom moved, Chicagoans in the 1830s, 1840s, and 1850s took advantage of the mobility of balloon frame structures without infrastructure connections. |
 | House moving was such a nuisance by 1846 that a group of Chicagoans asked that the city council not permit more than one building to stand in the streets of any block at the same time, or permit any one building to stand in the streets for more than three days. |
 | In 1855 Daniel Elston unsuccessfully petitioned the city council for permission to move a house across the Chicago River on the Kinzie Street Bridge. |
