Moving Experience — Phase 2
This interested onlooker watched as the historic Nissen House rounded the final corner in the journey to its new home site at the corner of Lucy Lane and Arrow Leaf Drive in Lewisville.
Golden morning light spread across the back of the historic Nissen House early on New Year’s Day, as a small band of devoted onlookers braved the freezing temperatures to watch the next phase of the Nissen House move.
On this second day of the move, hopes were high that the Nissen House would be positioned on its new footings before day’s end. But the final trek down Arrow Leaf Drive proved to be a long stretch, in terms of implementing all the steps needed to move the house securely to its destination. When the operation was halted by late afternoon on New Year’s Day, the Nissen House was, however, situated on its new lot, not too far from its footings.
Weather permitting, the relocation process will continue on Monday, January 5. Be sure to check back here for continued coverage of the Nissen House relocation efforts.

One of the photos bears some explanation, though. The photo of the tow truck with its front off the ground depicts what the movers termed “power steering.” It’s how the truck that was pulling the house was steered whenever turns were necessary. Check it out!
