"After much anticipation, Historic Ithaca begins the move of Forest Home’s historic Cradit-Moore house on Tuesday, May 23 [2000].  The move is from 128 Pleasant Grove Road on Cornell University’s north campus to a lot between 166 and 172 Pleasant Grove Road, approximately three-tenths of a mile north of its original location.  This two-story Greek Revival home, built in 1817, was originally owned by Benjamin Cradit, a local farmer and landowner.  The house had additions made to it, and underwent restoration and remodeling in the late 1930s.  The last private owner was Dr. Norman Moore, the first director of Cornell University’s health care system.  The house was sold to Cornell in 1946."
