Historic Wrigley Field caretaker's home moved for renovations

CHICAGO (WLS) -- As part of Wrigley Field's ongoing renovations, the historic caretaker's house has been temporarily moved to the north end of the ballpark's Blue Lot, officials said.

The home, located in the northwest corner of the field, was built between the 1922-1923 seasons to rent to the team's former grounds superintendent Bobby Dorr. Dorr lived there until his death in 1957.

Although no one lives in the home currently, officials said it served as an office for longtime traveling Cubs secretary Bob Lewis until his retirement, and has since served as office space for concessionaires.

The move comes as crews work on renovations to the park's Gate K, which is part of a larger $575 million plan that began immediately after the end of the 2014 season.

Officials said the home will return to its original location by Opening Day 2015.
