Victorian house moved in San Francisco

It's not every day you get to see a Victorian house moved from one location to another.  The Victorian home, located on Franklin Street was moved to its new location to Fulton Street.
Spectators gather to watch the Victorian home move.
And walked with it as it made it's way through the street.

The workers safely moved it despite a number of obstacles.
And people watched from their patios.

San Francisco City Hall watched the house move along Golden Gate Avenue.
