SIX-ROOM HOUSE ABOARD SCOW
FRAME DWELLING TRANSFER
RED BY WATER ROUTE.
Placed on Craft by Aid of Block and
Tackle and Towed to
Destination.

The sight of six-room house. aboard
scow, being towed up the Washington
channel this morning attracted consider
able attention. The house, which is the
home of Sonnet Reasman. a Potomac
Park Waterman, was for many years To-
Gated on Easby's Point, where improve
ments have been made by the United
States government.
Recently Capt. John Morvatt, In charge
OF the Potomac Park and concrete bridge
construction, decided that the watchmar
should be stationed nearer the improve
ments, and accordingly his home was
also to be placed near where he was tc
work. Last Wednesday eight or ter
laborers placed jacks under the house
which is frame, and soon had it clear
of the ground. and rails under it. A
barge was moored close to the shore and
by the aid of block and tackle the house
was placed aboard.
Three days ago a tug towing the barge
with Its house load left Easby's Point
for the new location of the house. Slow
progress was made This morning. how
ever. the frame home, uninjured by its
hauling. was pulled ashore on Potomac
Park just south OF the railroad bridge, at
the upper end of the Washington chan
mel The work was done as we'll as if but
a doll house instead of home was being
moved.
Upon the arrival of the tug and its tow
at the head of the channel the barge was
moored to the west bank of the harbor.
AS in the loading of the house, Jacks were
placed under it, and later rails were laid
4 stationary engine on the barge slowly
drew the house ashore by aid OF blocks
and fall secured to large trees
The same employees. under the direction
of Capt. Morvatt, several days ago moved
a large cement shed. sixty feet in length
and sixteen feet wide and one story in
height, from near the site OF the new
concrete bridge in Potomac Park to a
place near the location of the house
moved today. 1t Is stated that a large
warehouse. two stories in height. sixty
feet long and twenty-five fee. wide, will
be removed to the place by the same
method within the next few days
