There is a cost of $100,000 to move the building and about $300,000 to restore it.
"We have to put it on stilts on a flatbed, and we haul it down 41 and corkscrew, and we did the same thing with these other two properties," Ribble said,
Right now, they've only raised about $20,000, and they need your help to raise the rest.
