14 Vintage Photos of Houses Moving in Los Angeles From the Past _ US

All over Southern California there are opportunities to buy houses for the moving… houses which stand in the way of such building projects as shopping centers, apartment buildings, parking lots, filling stations, churches, government construction and road projects.
Approximately 700 houses are moved each year in the Los Angeles area alone. John Koslov, right-of-way clearance agent for the State Highway Department, District 7, says that to make room for one 3-mile section of the Foothill Freeway, the Highway Department purchased 396 improved parcels, of which they sold 251 and demolished 145.
