Houses and buildings have been moved to new locations in Tacoma as early as the 1880s. The G. W. Littooy family continued their daily activities, making a hot cup of tea on their wood-burning stove, while their house was being moved down the street to a new location in October 1937. Krohn & Sons House Movers transported the residence from S 14th St and Cushman Ave to S 9th St & S K St. (MLK Way)
