The truck eased forward, and the Adam Brown House was removed from the corner of West and First streets at about 3:30 p.m. Dec. 2, leaving soil there bare for the first time in 126 years.

Like a person retracing her steps, after a long absence, at the place of her youth, the old house paraded down the route it likely took when it was moved to Friday Harbor: Spring Street to Argyle Avenue to Cattle Point Road to American Camp.

Journal multimedia journalist Jane K. Fox produced this multimedia presentation of the event, using photos by Journal editor Richard Walker.
