Yikes, brick foundation. I know, I know, its 100 years old. We don't have to many of those around but the one I have come across was a really well built Greene and Greene. I spent lots of time on doing the remod. I am not sure about block, just because its isn't done all that much around here. Keep calling remodeling contractors. Lots of guye don't want the job is because its a PITA. They can do much better build new because they have full control of the build and not have to worry making it the end product looking like it was there from day one. Lift the house, pour in place foundation and let the house back down, and deal with all interior damages like plaster walls and out of plumb cabinets, doors and windows. Most foundation contractors should or would love to have that one out here.

Be careful with foundation guys, they are only interested in installation a new foundation, then you will have to find another guy to finish up or repair the inside.
