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
