Radio Milwaukee: The ‘Tosa Cabin’ Is Being Relocated

Starting around 10 p.m. tomorrow night, crews will be in place to do something you don’t see every day. For about four hours, they’ll be moving a log cabin, in one piece, a mile down North Ave.

And what’s interesting about this particular building—it’s the second time it has moved since it was built in the 1920s.

Rather than tear the cabin down, the developer offered to donate the cabin to anyone who was able to move and use it.

The logs are not structural, they’re decorative. But they are real logs! They’re 12″ in diameter and are bolted to the frame of the house. Here, you can see an addition to cabin resulting in the logs now appearing inside the house.
