Well, considering that entire buildings (and large ones) can be picked up
and moved, yes, it can be saved. The only question is how much money are
you willing to throw at it in order to save it? When I was a child, I
recall a neighbor who jacked up his entire house in order to put in a full
size basement. The only limiting factor is as I mentioned before...money.

I am considering the purchase of a house built in 1935. House has lots
of character, beautiful hardwood floors and fireplace. Here is the
catch, 2 previous sales have fallen through because each home inspector
has said "it cannot be fixed" The back corner of the house has sunk 8"
according to reports. This can be seen inside with a rise in the floor,
and on the outside with a diagonal line of bricks that have seperated
about a cm. I have photos- I need someone's opinion: can this be saved?
