Description
Photograph of a house moving, ca.1925. A large house sits in the center in the middle of a residential street. The house has three large windows and three small windows on its face with striped awnings extending out over each window. The struck that pulls the house is as wide as the house's doorway. Three signs on the house display the words "STAR HOUSE MOVERS". In addition, the front of the truck has a star painted on it along with the words "HOUSE MOVERS" underneath. Seven men stand to the left of the house wearing suits while one man stands on the left side of the moving house. Large houses sit on the left of the street while cars and a tree are visible on the right side of the street.
