I just searched for this and you can see these pipes and cables in the video. I can’t believe they managed that in the 1930s.
Do you know if workers were still expected to go to work inside the building while it was moved? Or did the construction people move the building a few feet every night while the building was closed? The first option seems ridiculous, but you never know with capitalists.
They kept it going because it was key infrastructure (would have cut off all telephone lines in the area). Apparently they didn’t notice the building moving while they were in there.
Impressive feat.
