CENTRAL FLORIDA — The second half of the Capen House was moved Thursday.
The historic house was cut in half and was floated across the lake.
Bill Jennings is a former resident of the Capen House. He said he has a lot of childhood memories.
The final piece of the Capen House set sail across Lake Osceola.
It was in danger of being demolished by its new owners six months ago.
Contractors cut the historic home in half.
From its foundation on north Interlachen Avenue, they floated the first piece last week.
Thursday, the second half was loaded onto a makeshift dock and floated towards its new home at the Albin Polasek Museum.
They've already raised $500,000 to get the Capen House onto the water.
Now, they still need $150,000 to connect the two pieces together.
Members said they are optimistic they can raise the money to keep the construction going.
Frank Roark is the contractor that helped mastermind the feat.
He said it's been the biggest test of his 30-year career.
If all goes according to plan, which it has so far, the Capen House should reopen on Osceola Avenue this summer.
