Now here is something you don't see every day.


In 1930 they rotated the Indiana Bell Building to make more room for a new building....
...while people were working in it!

That is amazing Darryl......I would love to see the plans, specs and CPM for that project. The logistics for keeping the water/sewer/gas/electric systems connected while raising and turning the building are astounding. Thanks for sharing..... :o 8) 8)

I just watched and read this. It was amazing feat. It took a few day's to do that and moved another building also. Dennis
