In 1930, the Indiana Bell building was rotated 90 degrees over the course of a month. The 22-million-pound structure was moved 15 inches per hour, all while 600 employees continued working inside. There was no interruption to gas, heat, electricity, water, sewage, or even the telephone service they provided. Amazingly, no one inside felt it move. | Historical Photos

In 1930, the 11,000-ton Indiana Bell Telephone Company Building in Indianapolis was rotated 90 degrees and moved 52 feet south without disrupting daily operations or the 600 employees inside. This historic engineering feat was achieved by maintaining all utility connections with flexible piping and moving the structure at a painstaking pace of 15 inches per hour. | History In Pictures

There was no interruption to gas, heat, electricity, water, sewage, or the telephone service they provided. No one inside felt it move. Which reminds be of another remarkable event. In 2013, at age 18, my oldest daughter cleaned her room, before leaving for college, in only 21 days. One sock per 1/4 hr, one dirty dish per hour. | Institution

A 22-Million-Pound Building Moved Without Stopping Work In 1930, engineers accomplished the unthinkable by moving the Indiana Bell Building—a seven-story structure weighing 22 million pounds—while its 600 employees continued working inside. The building was shifted 52 feet and rotated 90 degrees over 34 days, all without interrupting electricity, water, phone lines, or daily business operations. It remains one of the greatest feats of structural engineering in history. Important Details: • Year:
