    Excellent report. Yes even big homes can be moved and be preserved. House moving was relatively common 100 years ago. It is not a lost art. The city moved three homes in 2005 from the Ambassador Hotel site to the 800 block of north 26th street. All three are now restored and owner-occupied.

    So excited for the Mutchslers!! Jock and Linda are great people and give a lot back to the community. Fabulous
    “new” home for them. Congrats!

    One correction to your article, you have incorrectly identified George Kuehn and the person who moved the house. It was George’s father, Louis Kuehn, who moved the house in the 20’s. George inherited the house after Louis death in 1948.
