Here on Delmarva, houses are moved almost casually, and have been for
some centuries. There was a builder's yard on the Eastern Shore of
Virginia some years ago where you could buy rooms that would be stuck
onto your house. Some of the rooms were two centuries old or older.

There's a place where Colonial Williamsburg actually "restored" the
same building on two different locations because they found two
different foundations.  Noel Hume warns, in one of his books, to look
for slat marks in the ground that resulted from moving houses.  These
features come from laying timbers crosswise like railroad ties, to
accommodate the big beams over which the house is rolled.

In many towns, houses on the "better" streets were moved to back
streets when they were replaced by new construction.  So you might
find several houses that were originally built at the same address.
In my hometown of Dover, Delaware, the rentals on the back streets
were largely emigrants from the main street.
