The decision pushed the boundaries of civil engineering at a time when such a feat was widely considered impossible. Using hydraulic jacks, turntables, and steam-powered winches, the entire building was slowly moved 52 feet and rotated 90 degrees. The process advanced at an extremely controlled pace to preserve the struct
