AT & amp; T Building is a high rise in Indianapolis, Indiana. Opened in 1932 and 22 stories high. It's mainly used for office space and is the headquarters for AT & amp; T in Indiana. The AT & T building is connected to AT & T Building 220, which is just south. The building has been expanded and has reached its present shape only after a few iterations.
The previous headquarters building on this site was completed in 1907. In 1930, Indiana Bell moved buildings to make way for new development. Over a 34-day period, the 11,000-short-ton (10,000 t) building shifted 52 feet (16 m) to the south, rotated 90 degrees, and then shifted again 100 feet (30 m) westward. This is done without disturbing the customer's phone service or business phone operations. The new headquarters was completed in 1932, and was 7 stories high. It was later expanded in the 1940s and 1960s to bring it to its present size and height. The original displaced building was destroyed in 1963.
