The 100th birthday of the old Union Pacific in Lawrence will take place in a new home this spring.
The depot will be moved 99 feet south of its current site east of North Second Street between Maple and Locust streets, said Craig Patterson, chairman of the city's Save the Depot Task Force.
The original goal was to move the depot this far, but Patterson said the contractors didn't have time to do so. The construction company and its other commitments. Only six to a dozen moves of this type are done each year in the United States.
als from moving contractors in November.
"It sometimes takes several contractors to get enough equipment to do the project," said Jake D. Miller, president of Wheeling Steel.
The task force met last night to review a report from its engineer, Warren Schwabauer, of the Norton and Schmidt engineering firm in Kansas City, Mo.
Dennis Brown, a member of the task force and the Lawrence Preservation Alliance, said the city would lease the depot's new site from the Union Pacific Railroad Co. Union Pacific gave the depot and $100,000 to the Lawrence Preservation Commission in condition that the task force restore the structure.
"The depot was one of the most beautiful buildings in Lawrence." Brown said.
The depot was designed in 1888 by Henry Van Brunt, the same person who designed KU's Spooner Hall. The depot fell into disrepair and disuse about 40 years ago.
Steve Hamburg, task force member and KU assistant professor of systematics and ecology, said he wanted the depot to look like the original design within the constraints of its new environment.
"We don't want to just restore it but give it new life and new purposes," Hamburg said. "Part of restoring it will be adapting the building to a modern setting."
The Lawrence depot has many broken windows.
