In 1930, the Indiana Bell Telephone Company building in Indianapolis achieved what seemed impossible: a 7-story, 11,000-ton building was rotated 90 degrees while 600 employees continued their daily work uninterrupted. Incredibly most of the power needed to move the building was provided by hand-operated jacks while a steam engine also provided some support. Each time the jacks were pumped, the house moved 3/8th of an inch. Nearly 100 years later, it's highly unlikely we'd even attempt this today
