The historic Randolph-Lucas House was moved from Buckhead to Ansley Park this morning along Peachtree. The operation began at midnight and it took until 7 a.m. to get the house, which had been divided into two sections, to its new foundation in Ansley Park. The photos below, courtesy of Buckhead Heritage Society, document the move.
