  3. In 1908 San Francisco witnessed one of the most peculiar spectacle. The relocation of a Victorian home, pulled by horses in 1908. The move was part of a city-wide effort to recognize neighborhoods after the 1906 earthquake, and this house was built in 1892. It was deemed too beautiful to destroy.
