Fremont House to Live On

Card Notifying Neighbors of Move - Front - Fremont, Seattle Card Notifying Neighbors of Move - Back - Fremont, Seattle 

It’s not the usual way you’d think about getting a house, but it’s possible: save a house from demolition and move it to your lot. That’s what’s going to happen this weekend in Fremont (the self-described center of the universe). What a find, what a save this will be. The house was a former B&B (called the Gypsy Arms and featuring a S&M dungeon) and now it will live again in “upper” Fremont minus the dungeon. Rampant (or eventual?) development just made this cross between a Victorian and Craftsman not viable anymore. Sad, but a happy end this time. 

By the way, if you are searching for a house to buy and move, try the Nickel Brothers site. The Nickel Brothers will be doing the move this weekend.

  2. Thanks. I looked the other day but didn't see anything. I think I walked by you because I remember you filming at that location.
