Mather House Moves - September 9-10, 2002
These pictures were taken with my Olympus C2100-UZ digital camera on
the campus of Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, on
September 9 and 10, 2002. The occasion is the move of the old
admissions building (Mather House) from Main Street to a new location
on Stetson Court.
All images are 24-bit JPEGs and should be viewed on a 24-bit display.
Quality is likely to be very poor when viewed on an 8-bit display.
Most images are shown at a resolution of 640x480, but are available
in 800x600 and full 1600x1200 sizes by clicking on the links after
the captions.
On Monday the 9th, a look down Stetson Court, which has had all trees
near the road removed.

Street lights were also dismantled.

There is the house, now "parked" along the side of Main Street (Rte 2).

This is the lot where the house used to be. It is being moved to make
way for construction of the new theater complex at Williams.

Now on Tuesday the 10th, by midmorning, the house is half way down
Stetson Court.

It's just not something you see every day.

Back in the office, a grasshopper found its way onto the screen.

At the end of the day, the house is done moving, for now.
This truck belongs to the house moving company. I didn't know such
companies existed.

The house seems to be parked next to its future location.

They seem to be building a foundation for it.
[800x600][1600x1200]
I guess that board is to make sure the house doesn't roll away or anything.
