In the early 1900's, the city of Seattle, WA removed an entire hill by using hydraulic sluicing (large water jets) to level and fill the waterfront area. There were several homeowners who wouldn't settle with the city and consequently were left on elevated parcels which could only be accessed by steep stairways from the newly created street level. There was not however; any overhang of the buildings as shown.
