When the University of Pittsburgh Titusville decided to add a few more buildings they bought up property around them and tore down the buildings. All except for this one because the owners did not want to let there home be destroyed so arrangements were made to load it up and move it to the other side of town.
As I recall the the moving company ended up chopping up some tress on there way across town without asking the owners first, I guess that just goes to prove that "It is better to do and ask for forgiveness then for permission" Just imagine how much money they must have been making to not care.
It looks like they have added some siding and the garage on the left of the building after the big move.
