From a school to a casino, a brief history of epic building moves in S.F. By Peter Hartlaub The move of a 139-year-old home from 807 Franklin St. around the corner to Fulton Street on Sunday was the distraction San Francisco needed. But the joyous event that dominated social media, as crews took down wires and trimmed roadside trees to facilitate the move, turns out to be just a small footnote in a city that can’t seem to keep its buildings in one place. At one point in the 1940s and 1950s, house moves were so frequent there were three different San Francisco companies bidding for the jobs. It happened so often, sometimes dozens of moves in a year, that a Victorian on blocks could be on the city flag.
