After 139 years at 807 Franklin St. in San Francisco, a two-story Victorian house has a new address.

在舊金山富蘭克林街807號佇立139年後，一棟2層樓的維多利亞式房屋有了新地址。

The green home with large windows and a brown front door was loaded onto giant dollies and moved to a location six blocks away. Onlookers lined the sidewalks to snap photos as the structure rolled at a top speed of 1 mph to 635 Fulton St.

這棟有著大窗戶、棕色前門的綠色房屋，被裝載在巨大推車上，移往6個街區外。當建物以最高時速1英里（約1.6公里）被移往福爾頓街635號途中，人行道上站滿了拍照的旁觀民眾。

Veteran house mover Phil Joy said this move is tricky in part because the first part of the journey involves going downhill. Along the route, parking meters were ripped up, tree limbs were trimmed and traffic signs were relocated.

資深搬家業者菲爾．喬伊說，這件工程很難處理，部分原因是移動過程首先得下坡。沿路上，停車計時器被移除，樹枝被修剪，交通號誌也被重新安置。

The owner of the six-bedroom house, San Francisco broker Tim Brown, will pay about $400,000 in fees.（AP）

這棟擁有6個房間的屋子的主人、舊金山仲介商提姆．布朗，將付40萬美元（約1118萬台幣）的費用。（美聯社）
