In 1915, the Dumbarton House was moved 100 feet to its present site, to allow for the extension of Q Street into Georgetown.  From Streets of Washington: "It took three weeks and 200 jacks to raise the old house a half-inch off the ground and probably several months after that to drag it into its new resting place, a spot that had been dug out of the hillside some 60 feet to the north. Regretfully, no pictures have been located that show how this complicated engineering feat was accomplished."
