Cunningham Hall got stuck in a move across campus to a location near Parrington Hall.
A historic building that got bogged down while being moved on the University of Washington campus today was underway by midafternoon after a front loader was brought in to continue the building's journey.
The UW is moving the building, Cunningham Hall, across campus to a location by Parrington Hall near the northwest corner of the campus. It got stuck when the truck pulling it didn't have enough power to move it.
There was also a concern that the dollies under the building could get dislodged and make the move even tougher, said UW spokesman Bob Roseth.
The wooden building, built in 1909 for the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exhibition, houses the university's women's center. It's being relocated to make space for a new molecular engineering building.
