Moving buildings, not just rotating them, is not that unusual.
In fact, there's a building I know of that was moved, people changed their mind soon after, and then they moved it again.
Once it was a mansion that reportedly belonged to Leland Stanford (you west coasters might have heard of him), later a nursing home, and finally a bank. It was in the way of a Wal-Mart and other development.
This page says that one of the moves was 350 feet:
