The Steensland House Is On The Move!!

/in

As mentioned in previous posts, Engineered Construction is overseeing the relocation of the historic Steensland House. For the past 119 years the house has sat at 315 N. Carroll Street.  Tomorrow, the house will be placed on it’s new foundation right around the corner on West Gorham Street.

The project has created much buzz due to the historic nature of the home and the politics involved in moving a landmark. The Isthmus published an article last week about historic preservation in Madison that can be seen HERE.

Additionally, many people are simply fascinated by the process of picking up and relocating a structure of this size.  If you’re interested in seeing the progress or watching the house get moved, click HERE to check out the live webcam that was set up thanks to J&K Security Solutions.

Steensland House To Be Relocated

/in

The Steensland House, currently owned by Bethel Lutheran Church and located on North Carroll Street, was built in 1896 for Halle Steensland, a leader in the progressive movement.  In 1974 it was designated a local landmark and it’s also on the National Register of Historical Places.  Over time, the surrounding homes were demolished which left the home standing alone surrounded by the church parking lot.   The church has wanted to expand for some time but needed a plan for the Steensland House before being able to do so.  After much consideration, it has been decided that the Historic Steensland House will be moved to another side of their property which faces West Gorham.

The home, which is around 7,000 square feet will be moved in phases beginning April 15th.  Once relocated the home will be renovated to create three apartments.  The move, as well as the renovation is being overseen by Engineered Construction.

Engineered Construction Changes the IRP Procedure

/in

Engineered Construction offers Emergency Services to homes and businesses that suffer water, fire and storm damage.  The Immediate Response Program (IRP) is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

In an effort to improve our services, ECI has eliminated the pager system and moved over to a live answering service.  This change also makes the process easier in that all calls can be made directly to Engineered Construction regardless of time of day, therefore eliminating a need for a separate phone number.

Please make a note of the change and keep us in mind if you or someone you know should need our services.

Immediate Response Program – 24 Hour Emergency Services – 608.845.7930
