Abstract
Photographs taken by James Child documenting the November 23, 1988 move of the historic Forthmann House from 629 W. 18th St. to 1101 W. 28th St. (now 2801 S. Hoover St.). The collection also includes an essay by Jim Childs about the move, a copy of the Cultural Heritage Board's notice of historical status for the house, and correspondence and related information about the relocation and planned use of the house by USC.
