LOVELOCK - In Lovelock people are accustomed to seeing some peculiar things, but not every day does one see a house driving down the road. So if you thought you saw a house driving down Kruse Road or Pitt Road on Feb. 27, don't rush out to change your eyeglass prescription, you really saw it.
Hiram and Ashley Knight had a two-bedroom, one-bathroom home moved from the property of Gordon and Beth Hostman on Kruse Road to their property on Pitt Road. The Knights plan to fix up the old house and live in it.
"Everything went smooth with the move. It's still in good condition; it was built well. I walked through it after it got to our property," Ashley Knight said.
The home originally came from the town of Tungsten in the mid 1900s. The Hostman family lived in it for 14 years until they built a bigger home. They recently gave it to the Knights to get it off their property, Knight said.
"We got online and looked up house movers and found Ralph Lynn House Movers out of Fallon and moved it," Knight said.
The home will need some TLC and some electrical updates but, "It will clean up nice," she added.
Knight said she and her husband plan to fix up the old home and live in it until they can afford to build a bigger home. The couple would like to have five to seven children, she said. They want to keep the house after they have built their dream home for their parents or children to live in, Knight said.
The photos accompanying this story were taken by Bob Schein. They show the house moving from Kruse Road down Pitt Road to its new location on the Knights' 40-acre parcel on Pitt Road.
Some things just need to be photographed.
