A 19th Century Heritage Home gets transported through downtown Toronto -Watch video

A recent video of a 400 tonne 19th century heritage home being transported through a part of downtown Toronto this previous weekend was sent to us by reader Stephen Mason.

Previously located on the north side of Howard Street, east of Edgedale Road, the William Whitehead House (1887) is a 2½ storey detached house form building. The property was listed on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties in 1974. It was preserved due to its heritage significance but needed to be moved about 100 metres to 32-24 Howard St. in order to make way a new condo.

Mason described the scene as “quite amazing to witness.”
