San Jose's Historic Scheller House on the Move

[ Suhita Shirodkar in San Jose, California] Last week I got to watch the historic Scheller House, all 200 tons and 6500 square feet of it, move a mile through the streets of San Jose, pulled by a semi-trailer truck.

Here, a crew painstakingly lay boards over lawn so the semi could pull the house over the grass.

At other times, they cut down tree branches so the house could make a sharp turn down a street.

Built in 1094 by San Jose architect Theodore Lenzen, this house had moved more than once in it’s lifetime. This time it moved from near 4th and San Carlos streets to the corner of E. San Antonio and S. 10th streets. I was doubly excited for Saturday: as an urban sketcher it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime sketching opportunity. But the house was also a huge win for preserving San Jose’s history. As a board member of Preservation Action Council of San Jose I got to see first hand how much goes into these efforts but also what is possible to achieve when the city, the university and advocacy groups work together.

Here’s one I didn’t get to finishing. It shows how I work when I work quickly on complex scenes: the line goes down first. Here; it is part in pen and part in pencil.


I had to take a break from this sketch to go hold up a Preservation Action Council of San Jose banner with these wonderful members of the organization.



And I turned around and realized I had a fantastic angle of the house and I had to draw it. So I did one more sketch, the one you see at the top of the page. 

You can see a video and more sketches from the series here on my blog.
