Narberth, PA / August 2024

For the relocation of this 2 ½-story terracotta and frame house, Wolfe House Movers, LLC, used roll beams and X/Y skates to slide the house across the lot to a new location. After installing the roll beam system, Wolfe slid the house 47′ west, then reset the roll beams to slide it an additional 21′ to the north, bringing it safely into position over the new foundation.
