Does  anyone have an idea
about how houses would have been moved around that time  - i.e., taken
apart piece by piece and reassembled, or moved  whole?


Now this raises an interesting point about National Register criterion,  
which discriminates against relocated buildings. Down here in the Far Southwest,  
houses were regularly jacked up on flat wagons had relocated to other places.  
Even large Victorian Queen Annes, townhouses, and farm houses were moved 
around.  I have also heard of partial dismantling, expecially when they had to 
negotiate  under a bridge.
