The Winnegance General Store, built in 1902, was moved a total
distance of 34 feet today so that a new foundation can be poured.  

The building was purchased by Jennifer Greene, who is planning to
restore it historically, and to put a cafe and general store in the old
building. 

Even with threatening skies, the moving day took on a party atmosphere as neighbors found their way to the site to watch the giant building inch to the south over the course of four hours.

The building will remain where it is until the former foundation site is excavated, and the new foundation poured. The building will be returned to the original spot, then moved back about nine feet from its historic location.
