What's that?

As of last evening, two houses from the LSU Footprint had been moved to a staging area near Tulane Avenue and the now-closed S. Prieur entrance off Tulane.

It remains unclear to me where the houses, 2000-02 Cleveland and 1933-35 Cleveland, will be headed.

Up on blocks

The great four-bay double shotgun at 2000-02 Cleveland Street in the LSU Footprint has been prepared for relocation. Note that the roof is now gone.

The destination lots for the houses that are set to be moved...have not been made known.

Ensnared

The double shotgun house at 2000-02 Cleveland Avenue is visible through a coil of concertina wire in the LSU Footprint, proposed site of the UMC hospital project which continues to lack both a business plan and adequate financing.  The house and the property it sits on are the subject of an expropriation-related lawsuit.

The structure has been prepped for ostensible relocation outside the footprint.

Two more moved to the moving pile

Yesterday, crews began preparing Roile Jefferson's beautiful former house at 2000-02 Cleveland Avenue for possible relocation.

The similarly significant home at 1933-35 Cleveland was also being cut off at about 60 feet for potential moving as well.

If these and other homes are moved off the UMC site, they would mark the first moves of any properties off the LSU Footprint.
