After sitting for 117 years in the same spot, the Odd Fellows Hall might have a few aches and pains when it moves to make way for a new federal courthouse this summer.
There's no guarantee the historic building will still be in one piece after its trip across Market Street in downtown Salt Lake City. After all, it's old, big, heavy and already crumbling in spots. The structure will also have to make a 180-degree turn, a difficult move considering its age...

It would be a tragedy if it did collapse. I would blame the cube. Lets hope it stays together!

So they are going to pick the whole thing up and move it in one piece?
I would have thought it would be safer to take it apart piece by piece and rebuild it on the new site.
Also, are there any plans for the building once it is moved?
