Hello Linda-
I have done diary research recently documenting icehouse use on
plantations and farms in Piedmont Virginia and North Carolina. During
this work, I noticed entries on building moves and I think this
included icehouses, barns, and slave/tenant houses. It's not New York
but it may be relevant. If you are interested and can stand to wait a
few days, I will search my files for keywords which might take me to
specific entries on when and what was moved.

I am new to HistArch and have been following this discussion. I am
curious if there is any distinction to be made between buildings which
were reconstructed relatively recently for interpretive reasons and
buildings which may have been reconstructed, relocated or moved in the
early nineteenth century. I am involved in two projects in the New York
City area where the historic documentation indicates structures may have
been moved. I wonder, do such references mean that the function of a
building was duplicated when a new building was constructed and the old
demolished? If not, and buildings were actually moved, do any of you have
any historic references which may shed light on how a wood frame building
could have physically been moved during that time period and with what
technology?
