Rita Delgado, left, and Julie Criswell, right, watch as the Captain Scott house is moved into a farm field on the first leg of its journey to a new location. The Italianate house, built c. 1870 in Alexandria, Ohio, for Union soldier and abolitionist Joseph Scott, was scheduled for demolition for a divided four-lane highway until a grassroots group came up with enough money to move it. Delgado gave birth to her first child in the front room of the house 51 years ago. Criswell is the last person to have lived in the house. The Captain Scott house is moved from adjacent to Route 161 location to Alexandria to make way for a new interchange.
