Moving old houses

Sukeena and Laramee’s Altadena lot marks the residence’s third location in its lifetime, having been moved from a East Hollywood site to Los Feliz in the late 1940s by its then owner.

Sukeena and Laramee’s 3,600-square-foot house (pictured) and the Chambers couple’s home are the first two to be relocated as part of Omgivning’s Historic House Relocation Project.

Gwen Sukeena and Jacques Laramee stand with Morgan Sykes Jaybush outside of the couple’s 1910 Craftsman-style home during its relocation process from L.A.’s Los Feliz neighborhood.

After its relocation to the Chambers couple’s Altadena lot, the house sits on box cribs. It will be reassembled on the box cribs so that a new foundation can be built and inspected beneath it.

The home was cut into roughly five “pieces” and transported on flatbed trucks.

Construction workers prepare the Chambers couple’s 2,400-square-foot home for relocation.
