This farmhouse was hauled across the ice of St. Albans Bay by teams of oxen. At one point close to shore the ice broke, but adjustments were made and weeks later the move was completed.

Hiram Henry Hathaway Jr is said to have been riding on the front steps at just 3 years of age as the house was being moved by his father Hiram, which would date the move at about 1748.
