[MassHistPres] house moving

Thu Oct 19 14:03:45 EDT 2006

Bob Fredieu, 111 Pleasant St. Arlington 02476 (781-641-2169), now president 
of the local historical society, moved a Greek Revival house to a site in 
one of our historic districts a few years ago.  The move was along many 
tree- lined and wire-laden streets.
