From Florida-It was a slow ride on Third Street at the Beaches Sunday, almost a parade, really. Cyclists pedaled along and people gathered on the sidewalk to watch the church roll by.
The 125-year-old former Episcopal chapel was making one more move. This was from Beaches Chapel School in Neptune Beach, where it's sat for 42 years, to Pablo Historical Park on Beach Boulevard.
There it will join the rest of the Beaches Museum, available for church services, weddings and chamber music.
But first, it had to make the 2-mile journey out onto Third Street and then south to Pablo Avenue. That was the job of LaRue House Movers, who jacked the church up, slid a trailer under it and slowly drove away from the school while workers scurried underneath, placing sheets of plywood to keep the tires from sinking into the dirt.
