Move Day

Members of The Friends of the Ladd Carriage House collectively have shot thousands of photos of the building and the moves.  A few of these are shown in the gallery below (click the thumbnail to see a larger copy).  In addition, The Oregonian has shot a great many very fine images, both inside and out, of the building.  A great collection of The Oregonian's photos are available here on Flickr.
