1971 Major Construction Projects – one was the expansion of the Broadway viaduct. A
new 2 lane structure was to be completed in the fall. The other was the Milton R Young Towers on
Burdick Expressway. A number of buildings were purchased by the city and moved
or destroyed to make room for the Towers. The Samuelson home was acquired by
the Historical Society, two other houses and a barn were sold and moved to
other locations. The houses sold for $500 to $1000 and the barn for $102. All
those sold were moved. Two houses and the barn traveled in a caravan down South
Broadway to their new home.
