Reply to comment by innergamedude 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

I'd wager that either father or son changed it during one of the World Wars due to the Germanic nature of the name.
