A Vancouver heritage home that otherwise would have beentorn down is instead being relocated to Vancouver Island, but getting it there is a major undertaking.

The house, built on the citys West Side in 1915, had to be picked up, put on a massive trailer assembly and moved to a barge on the Fraser River.

Among the onlookers Thursday was a woman who grew up in the home, and the CBCs Bob Nixon.
