Original Toronto Star caption: An Automatic One-Way Street. A three-bedroom bungalow owned by Don Prat is inched across Oshawa yesterday; its width making an instant one-way street of any route it followed. Ivan Pollard handled the move of the house to Thornton from its former site on Taunton Rd.; where it had to make way for new development. Even the TV antenna was moved.
