In the area bounded by West Warren, Paul, Greenfield, and Southfield there are many similar houses. They were moved to their present locations when the expressway was built [[I don't recall: either I94 or I96). Homeowners in the path of the planned construction were offered cash for their property. They could either leave the house or put it on a trailer and haul it to a new location. These houses were small frame buildings and relatively easy to transport. Many people bought lots on Mansfield, St. Mary's etc., built a new foundation and moved the house to the new lot. Many of these transplants were sited at the back of the lot.

The picture is one such house. Notice the new foundation.
