Between October 20th and November 14th, of the year 1930, the Indiana Bell Telephone Company  hoisted up its Indianapolis headquarters building and turned it 90 degrees.  The eight-story building was made of steel frame and brick and weighed 11,000 tons.  It was a feat unlike any other, and business continued as usual during the move.  600 workers continued to report to work each day, and customers entered the building with no delays or service outages.
