Photos: See The Relocation of San Mateo County's Lathrop House

Images have emerged of the relocation of the two-story, 10-room house, which is being moved to make room for a new County office building.

SAN MATEO COUNTY, CA -- If you've heard about San Mateo County relocating the historic Lathrop House this weekend and were curious as to what the move looks like, here's some photos to give you an idea.

The images, courtesy of Bob Stine, show workers preparing the 1860s-era Lathrop House, which is located in the center of Redwood City's downtown area, toward its new home across the street outside the historic courthouse currently housing the San Mateo County History Museum.

The two-story, 10-room house, which is being moved to make room for the construction of a new County office building, has been relocated twice before in its history.

The public is invited to view the ongoing preparations and move, including the final leg. The move across Marshall Street begins 10 a.m. Sunday, May 12 at 627 Hamilton St., Redwood City.

On Wednesday, May 8, crews began moving the house very slowly from its current Hamilton Street location across from County Center to the edge of the block bordered by Marshall Street. That stretch is estimated to last through Friday, May 10. After a break on Saturday, crews will begin anew on Sunday, May 12 for what they hope to be the final push across Marshall which will be closed to traffic. The move could continue into Monday, May 13.
