260-Year-Old Philadelphia Rowhouse Relocated for Homeless Shelter

Philadelphia, PA / December 2023

Wolfe House Movers, LLC, relocated a historic brick rowhouse in the heart of Philadelphia for integration into Old First Church’s supportive housing development project. The 3-story rowhouse was constructed with double and triple brick walls in 1764. Wolfe used a roller beams, X/Y skates, and a Buckingham unified jacking machine to slide the house 48′ across the lot and into position against an adjoining building.
