On October 8th, 2009 Jon Rich moved a portion of the Gilmartin House to his property to be used as a workshop. A couple of weeks of preparation including a slab and reinforcing the structure and in one day the move. It is obvious that it "takes a community to move a building". A lot of photos were taken and most of these are from Jim Thresher, Jen Belesca and a few from me from after and before as I missed the whole thing. Thank you to Castlebay for letting us use their music in the background.
This was quite an endeavor and it's clear that it wasn't a "piece of cake." Thank you for chronicling the determination and resourcefulness of our island community.
