Three heavy cranes support the upper floor of the historic Bunker Hill house called "The Castle." The upper floor was then lowered onto blocks to prepare it for relocation to Arroyo Seco Park. Since the size of the house made it impossible to move, the house was cut into three sections--the north wing, the third floor and the two main stories. Photo dated: March 7, 1969.
