Time-lapse of the Harriet F. Rees House move - Chicago, Illinois

How do you move a 762-ton historic mansion? Very carefully! The Harriet F. Rees House underwent an amazing relocation early this month and it is believed to be the heaviest residential structure moved in U.S. History. The three-story 762-ton Chicago landmark traveled one city block (600 feet) from 2110 S. Prairie Avenue to its new location at 2017 S. Prairie Avenue to make way for the planned McCormick Place Entertainment District. The brick and limestone mansion completed its journey on November 11-12, 2014. It's brick coach house was moved on Oct. 1, 2014. Check out the excitement of this historic move on this time lapse video! It is truly an amazing engineering feat!
