Two houses were moved to the hill over the week. A rental property belonging to Jimmie, Nellie, and Annie Ryan was moved from Fourth Street to Grandview Avenue and on Monday, the R.E. Dale residence was moved from 823 N. Main to Grandview. Both houses will be remodeled considerably. This makes a total of 20 houses that either have been moved to the hill or built on the hill since last summer.
