Just a hop, skip and a jump and this structure was moved a mere 158.4 feet to make way for a new deli called Joey G's. The object moved is a beautifully old, stone farm house in need of renovation and a new owner.

According to the realtor, this farm house is 258 years old. It was built in 1752. The house was moved a few hundred feet recently in 2009. It was at the location of Joey G's Deli, located at 861 Newtown Yardley Road Newtown, PA 18940. I was told the foundation of the house is brand new and the also dug out a basement, but, other than that everything else is the same. There is electric conduit running the outside of the house so clearly, it has been updated.

The current address of the farmhouse is 12 OLD FROST LN, Newtown PA 18940.
