111-year-old home on move

A 111-year-old house, one of the oldest in Vancouver, has been saved from the wrecking ball.

The grand old home moved from the city's West End and loaded on a barge in preparation for its restoration.

Real estate developer Sanjiv Sandhu says the 4,000-square-foot home will be moved to the Mount Pleasant area, where it will be turned into rental units.

Nickel Bros. house movers was responsible for the structure's $200,000 journey.

"Nickel Brothers does about 300 moves a year. This one is definitely one of the most complicated,” Dennis Langendorff told CTV.
