Reply to comment by dravik in TIL In 1930, to make way for a new building, the Indiana Bell Building, weighing 11,000 tons, was moved 16 meters and rotated 90°. The work took a month to finish and did not disrupt the building's essential services, nor its gas, water, and electricity supply. No one inside felt the building move. by LPercepts

If you're rotating a building like this 90 degrees then no doubt the plumbing, power and gas were all definitely interrupted.

Yeah well I just responded to his question. Then obviously they would have to replumb everything and do all the electrician work etc. It makes you wonder why the rotated the building, and didn't just reinstall the door on the other side.
