Indianapolis has a very similar relocation story from 1930, with the 11,000-ton Indiana Bell building [1].
Fun fact: Kurt Vonnegut's father was the chief architect who recommended rotating the building [2]. Earlier than that, there was also a building that was moved by a team of horses to make way for the Indiana War Memorial, but I can't find a source anywhere (I read about it while touring the memorial).
