Habitat for Humanity of Marion County moved a house from Pella to 510 S 6th St. in Knoxville yesterday.

Goodwin House Moving, a construction company based out of Washington, Iowa, moved the house on a specialized truck over the Red Rock Dam, and through the streets of Knoxville. The house was donated to Habitat for Humanity by Bank Iowa, who will use the lot to build their new location. Vice President of Bank Iowa Mike Maakestadt tells KNIA/KRLS News the bank has worked with Habitat for Humanity before, and they are a fan of Habitat because they are a family owned bank that shares many of the same values with the organization. The house will still need work over the next two days before it will settle in over the foundation, with a family to move in sometime next year.
