Ed Lacey Ed Lacy worked on railway crews as a summer student, resetting ties and tracks in the Ottawa Valley. He came north in 1974 and worked for the Yukon Housing Corporation doing foundation work during the summer. He moved to Dawson in 1978 and started moving buildings around town and beyond.((Sue Ward, “A Mover on the Move.” //The Klondike Sun// (Dawson), 26 October 1989.)) Ed completed his biggest project in 1988, moving six separate two-story buildings of the old Robert Service School. He was a member of the International Association of Structural Movers of North America and he learned a lot from some of the 480 experienced movers attending a conference in Orlando, Florida. He brought in steel I-beams from Vancouver and moving dollies were rented and trucked up from Edmonton. The largest section of the old school was taken along Fifth Avenue and became an extension to the WestMark Hotel. He had to slip the building past the Pump Value House, power poles, and many astounded bystanders. The building added space for thirty-two additional rooms and a laundromat to the hotel. Another section became a workshop for carpenter Jim Williams near the north end of Dawson, while another became a Maintenance Repair Shop for the Yukon Government.((Sue Ward, “A Mover on the Move.” //The Klondike Sun// (Dawson), 26 October 1989.)) Ed Lacey was interviewed by Sue Ward for the Dawson City Museum in 1989.
