Above is an example of a much larger building in the process of moving 1 mile away in 1991. In order to move across the University of Washington (Seattle) campus via city streets in 1991 it was required to make some tight intersection turns as seen above. On the Historic Register, the Penthouse was the first Theatre in the Round (arena) built in the United States. This 160 seat theatre was completely renovated in 1991 when it was moved from its original south campus location. (Photo by Bruce Cochran)

Since then, the project has encountered resistance from some Wedge residents and from the Healy Project, a group dedicated to preserving the architectural legacy of Minneapolis master builder T. P. Healy. The center of contention is the Orth House, 2320 Colfax, designed and built by Healy in 1893.
