Moving History: The Thomas Clark House (Video)

It began before the sun rose and ended at noon Saturday.

And over that time, Admiral House Moving of Goffstown, NH took 252 years of Belmont history for a half-mile trip through town. 

Saturday's move of the Thomas Clark House required five-and-a-half hours of careful and deliberate driving on Common Street and Concord Avenue, cutting the branches and limbs off numerous trees and finally placing the pre-Revolutionary War home at a temporary location near the Skip Vigilrolo Skating Rink.

And Belmont could see the Clark House on the move in the near future as negotiations continue to place the structure on a lot on or near Concord Avenue.

See the video of the move, a YouTube video and submitted photos of the day on this web site.
