Two brothers saved Chico’s last Gothic house and thus one of the most valuable pieces of the city’s history.
The Gothic Revival cottage that was located on West Fifth Street has been moved.
On Friday, August 12th, after being split in two halves and loaded onto a truck, the 133-year-old house began its journey through the streets of Chico to a new location on Humboldt Street.
The house was slated for demolition until two local residents decided to buy the property. The structure is Chico’s last Gothic Revival home and has now been preserved a valuable piece of the city’s history and heritage.
