The Oliver Alger mansion was so large that, in order to move it from its location on West 67th Street in 1998 to its new location on Franklin Boulevard and West 77th Street, it had to first be cut into three separate sections. This photograph shows those three separate sections loaded onto the house mover's tractor trailers. The mansion had been one of the grandest residences on Detroit Avenue since before the American Civil War.
