George M. Pullman, famous inventor
of the Pullman sleeping car, made his
first fortune moving buildings. Something
of a showman, Pullman once
raised a four-story Chicago hotel without
evacuating a single guest. Moving
is still a "main event" in any town, and
the sight of a historic building
trundling down the street always draws
a crowd of sidewalk superintendents.
Our company has operated as a family
business for three generations.
We're called "structural movers," not
house movers, because we don't want
to be confused with businesses that
move household belongings. A structural
mover can shift a house from a
flood plain or move a well-built house
to a better lot. We've moved houses
back from busy roads and elevated
houses
