It is the second time in four years that the house, where Hendrix lived in the 1950s and first listened to the blues, has been moved. The James Marshall Hendrix Foundation hopes to base a children's music centre around the house.
Pete Sikov, of the foundation, told the New York Times: "Everybody's been doing it because they love Jimi and they want to see this house saved."
