We are honored to see the Historic House Relocation Project featured in The New Yorker.
What began as an urgent question - Could houses facing demolition help Altadena families return home after the Eaton Fire? - has grown into an extraordinary collective effort grounded in preservation, resourcefulness, and community.
We are deeply grateful to the families who trusted this process and generously allowed their experiences to be documented over the course of a year, Evan and Caitlin Chambers, and Lauren and David Martinez, as well as to Brad Chambers, Earl Sutton and Ricky Craig of American Heavy Moving, and every mover, builder, craftsperson, public partner, and collaborator who contributed their expertise, time, and persistence to this work.
Thank you to Nicola Twilley @nicolatwilley for telling this complex and deeply human story with such care, to Ethan Noah Roy ethannoahroyphoto for documenting it so beautifully, and to The New Yorker for providing such a meaningful platform.
