Century-old house makes historic move to clear way for boutique condo tower in downtown St. Pete

It’s not every day that you get to witness a century-old two-story house rolling down the street. But if you were lucky enough to be just north of downtown St. Pete on Saturday night, that’s exactly what you saw.

The home, known as the Bay Gables house, was uprooted from its original location at 136 4th Avenue Northeast, placed on a trailer, and transported 0.6 miles to its new location at the corner of 8th Avenue North and Dartmoor Street near Round Lake.

The house was moved to make way for the construction of The Nolen, a 23-story 31-unit condo tower, that will be breaking ground soon.
