Moving an Old House in Alexandria

I noticed this house a long time ago. It was on the corner along Washington Avenue in Alexandria. It was noticeable because it was abandoned. There was never any life around it and it looked like it needed some care. It was an old house like most of them are on Old Town. Over the many years we drove in to the neighborhood for lunch or otherwise, this house stood there. All around it is new construction and renovations. We hadn’t been to Old Town for awhile so a couple of weeks ago we drove in for a morning walk and also to take some photos for the 52Frames challenge. Since the theme was “roll credits” it seemed like this would be the best place for some ideas since the city has been around since the 1750’s. On the way home, I noticed that a new construction site was underway -  and it was the block where the old house stood. But the old house was not in it’s usual position. It was now standing on a platform truck being prepared to be moved some where. I don’t know what is being built at the site, but apparently this house meant something to someone and I’m sure has a history of some kind. Anyway, I’ll miss seeing it and wonder where exactly it will end up. It’s not often that you see a house on a truck. I hope it lands in a nice place.
