Awesome Engineering 👏This Indiana Bell building was rotated 90 degrees
In 1930 the Indiana Bell building was rotated 90°. Over a month, the 22-million-pound structure was moved 15 inches/hr. all while 600 employees still worked there. There was no interruption to gas, heat, electricity, water, sewage, or the telephone service they provided.
No one inside felt it move.
People could still enter/exit the building thanks to an entryway that moved it, which connected to a special curved sidewalk. (seen in the video)
-The move was because Bell bought the building but needed bigger headquarters. They planned to demolish it but that would've interrupted phone service for a big chunk of Indiana, which they didn’t want to do.
- They lifted the whole building with steam-powered hydraulic lifts, then set it on enormous pine logs. It was moved via hand-operated jacks, which pushed it over the logs 3/8" at a time. Once the building rolled far enough forward, the last log would be moved to the front.
- The rotation plan was conceived & executed by famous architect Kurt Vonnegut Sr (father of the famous author)
- The feat remains one of the largest building-moves in history.
- The building was demolished in 1963.

In 1930 the Indiana bell building was rotated 90 degrees over 1 month all while 600 employees still worked inside. They say no one inside felt it move - Awesome engineering.
The relocation of this Indiana bell building remains one of the most fascinating moves in the history of structure relocation.
