If I'm not mistaken, this is a "Queen Anne" style house, typified by the porch and the round turret.
Read a story some time back about how houses were moved in the last century or 2 in the USA. Sometimes it was done with one man and a mule and a bunch of logs as the rollers; could take a week or 2. I know of at least 2 old estate houses in downtown Houston where the house was just turned 90 degrees to face a different street that may have become a new main thourougfare. Hard to imagine now adays with slab foundations to turn a house just a quarter turn. Pier and Beam was the foundation of the time and it made it much easier to do.
Best to all as we head to the holidays
