Alternative to teardown: a move by barge
The New York Times has a story in today's paper about the Robert Venturi-designed Lieb house in Barnegat Light, NJ. The house was lifted from its pilings and is now sitting in a parking lot in New Jersey where it awaits the green light to move it by barge up the Atlantic coast, under the Brooklyn Bridge, into Long Island Sound and then into the harbor at Glen Cove, Long Island. A couple there, who sound like excited adoptive parents waiting to receive their new baby, will use the house as a guest house. Here's Tammy La Gorce's story, and Inga Saffron wrote about it last month in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Wish them smooth sailing! – GF
