The house, originally located in Barnegat, New Jersey, is being moved to Glen Cove, Long Island. Part of the trip involves floating it up the East River on a barge. The house is being moved to save it from demolition and will be used as guest quarters in its new location. For more on the extraordinary move, visit Storefront for Art and Architecture.
