Wells Sherman House Move Cancelled

House was set to be relocated Saturday morning

The long-anticipated relocation of the Kent Wells Sherman House to a lot on North Water Street has been delayed.

"Due to circumstances beyond our control the move on Saturday... has been cancelled," said Roger Thurman, vice president of the Kent Wells Sherman House, Inc., board of directors.

The house was set to move from its temporary location on East College Avenue to a lot at 247 N. Water St., where it is expected to stand permanently with space available to the public for use.

Kent Service Director Gene Roberts said in an email the delay was a result of AT&T needing more advance time to schedule its utility crew to temporarily move its phone lines so the house could be backed onto the lot from the street.

Thurman said the move will be rescheduled as soon as possible.
