Home at last
Historic home completed after being cut in two, moved across city three years ago
After being cut in two in the fall of 2016, one of Chico’s historic homes, believed to be the last in the area of the Gothic revival style, made a slow, steady journey from West Fifth Street to Humboldt Avenue. There, it has been reassembled to preserve its historical character from when it was originally built in 1883, under the stewardship of contractor Joe Card and owners Josh and Scott Hubbard. “If we would have lost it, we would have lost a part of what makes this place so special,” Scott (not pictured) told the CN&R. Chico Heritage Association President Paul Lieberum, pictured with Josh, right, at the entryway of the finished cottage this week, said it is a “fantastic example of historic preservation done well.”
