HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – It didn’t have the flash of a television commercial showing a rolling house party, but the last residence at the site of the Holland Energy Park was moved to its new home on Wednesday.
It took Rollaway Movers several hours to move the 70-year-old brick house from its perch on East 6th Street to the 200 block of Ferris Avenue in Holland Heights, about a mile and a half in distance. The structure, which served as an office for Holland Board of Public Works staffers during the construction of the new natural gas-fueled power plant, was sold at auction in June for 24 hundred dollars to a private owner.
The house was the last of 29 that had stood in the neighborhood of 6th Street and Fairbanks Avenue before the city acquired the land two years ago to build the new plant.
