Lifting up an Entire City With Jacks | Tales From the Bottle
Sadly not a story about history's strongest man, but lifting an entire city fourteen feet with jackscrews is still pretty interesting!
"During the 1850s and 1860s, engineers carried out a piecemeal raising of the level of central Chicago. Streets, sidewalks, and buildings were physically raised on jackscrews. The work was funded by private property owners and public funds."
