I've heard this incredible and awesome story a few times, but the detail I noticed this tim was that the architect responsible was Kurt Vonnegut, but sadly not that Kurt Vonnegut, who was 8 at the time.

It was actually his father! He was a relatively well known architect in the Indianapolis area at that time.

Whaaaat! That's very cool. I am surprised any article could mention Kurt Sr. without mentioning his son, if only as trivia.

Wow! I'm amazed they could maintain all the utilities while moving it.
