Historic home in Michigan is purchased over the internet, dimantled and moved to California
This is definitely not modern... the house is 173 years old... but we're all in favor of reuse and the story is just interesting.
The owners had originally planned to build a replica Victorian (shudder) but they purchased a 1831 Greek revival house from Michigan which was slated for demolition instead. Better. Dismantled piece by piece, the home is now being reconstructed in Sonoma County, California.
