  ARGH! The house is moving, unbelievable! Here it's impossible, all houses are concrete made, with foundations.

  My grandparents had a house moved like that in Montreal around 1928.

  a larger, higher quality ilmenite vein was found under the town. The school, YMCA and a couple of other buildings were buried under the tailings.
if you're interested, I'll see if i can't find some pictures of it (the move)

  Please do. I'm a bit of a Seaway geek myself. In the late 50s the Ontario government relocated 6000 people from the area upriver from Cornwall prior to the flooding. Most of them took up the government's offer of new houses in new towns, but something like 500 houses were moved like this. Apparently the movers became such experts that they didn't even crack the windows after awhile.

  they may have been the same people that moved Tahawus! :oP
Still looking by the way... not much online through the Newcomb NY historical society...
