Summary:
John "Minnie" Moore built a mine in Idaho and sold it to Englishman Henry Miller. Henry married a local named Annie and built her a mansion, hence the "Millers' Minnie Moore Mine Mansion." After Henry died and Annie was hoodwinked, she and her son took to raising pigs in the yard, but the town wanted those pigs out. Who could have guessed that Annie and her crew would remove the whole mansion instead--rolling it away slowly on logs--while she and her son were still living in it?
