Enola Miller House Relocation

Summerdale, PA / March 2021

The Enola Miller House was built of mountain stone in 1841 by Henry Longsdorf and is named after his granddaughter, who grew up in the house. When the land the house sat on was recently sold for development, Wolfe contracted to relocate the house 1,300′ to a new location donated by the township. Instead of moving the house through the streets, contractors built a gravel road directly to the new site. Wolfe used twelve hydraulic dollies to drive the house over the road and steer it into place over its new foundation. The building has been donated to the local historical society, which plans to restore the building for their headquarters and open it to the public.
