It's amazing watching something like this, isn't it? A few years ago they moved a hotel in San Jose from one end of the block to the other, using very much the same sort of equipment. Supposedly this was the largest building (and thus the heaviest object) ever moved. I did get some photographs, but they just don't convey the effect.
