The historic Edgewater building blocks blocks a street in West Palm Beach, Fla., Monday as utility workers raise lines to clear the route ahead.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A historic hotel and boarding house had to be parked overnight on a South Florida street during a move because of delays with its relocation.

Traffic had to be blocked off overnight Sunday on a street in West Palm Beach, and some light posts were temporarily removed to accommodate the relocation of the almost-century-old The Edgewater.

The 1920’s-era rooming house is headed for a new life as a bed and breakfast.

The 4,900-square-foot hotel was moved about 1.5 miles to a historic district of West Palm Beach after a new owner of the property decided its former location would be the site of a new parking.

The Edgewater will be used as a bed-and-breakfast inn in its new location.
