It may interest some of the readers of the JOURNAL to have a short description of the manner of moving brick houses from one location to another, as recently effected in this city.

A good and substantial three-story dwelling, measuring 30 feet by 18 feet on the plan, and about 30 feet height of walls to the eaves, was erected on the farm of Henry Myers, in the soubern part of the district of Southwark, about twenty years ago. This building (with a portion of the farm) was recently sold to the Frankford RE Southwark Railroad

Company.

When the company commenced to build t,heir southern terminus depot, they concluded to move the dwelling house to the line of Fifth Street, a distance of nearly four hundred feet.
