ETHS student-built house gets a new home
Project gives students hands-on learning and helps increase Evanston s supply of affordable housing.
The first floor of the house leaves ETHS this morning.
Moving to a new house can be stressful. Packing up all of your worldly possessions and taking them somewhere else is nerve-racking.
Now, imagine moving the whole house. That’s what was done this morning, as a home built by Evanston Township High School students was moved by flatbed truck from the high school, down several streets with a police escort, and then gingerly lifted by crane onto its new location, a formerly-vacant lot on Emerson Street near Darrow.
