Old videos from 1900
1930 in color Construction Workers on the Chrysler Building old classic film video
New York's Chrysler Building, one of the city's most iconic skyscrapers, was built in a remarkably short time--foundation work began in November 1928, and the building officially opened in May 1930. Even more remarkably, the steelwork went up in just six months in the summer of 1929 at an average rate of four floors a week.
Fox Movietone's sound cameras visited the construction site several times in 1929 and 1930, staging a number of shots to maximize viewers' sense of the spectacular heights. Movietone almost never put somebody in front of a camera without giving them something to say, so a number of scenes include some staged dialogue.

People who complain about their daily lives need to realize how truly blessed you are. You have no idea how hard people fought to survive so you can walk this earth. Nothing was given in those days you hard to earn the bread on your table. There's a lost sense of adventure in today but it should never be forgotten

Grandfather is shown in a beige wool hat at 1:54. Frank Biscardi, Sr. Born 4/15/1899 Died 3/15/1990 He immigrated from Sicily in 1922 . He was very proud to become a naturalized American citizen. He was a kind but tough guy who worked hard and didn’t complain. He was a master plasterer . God rest his soul

you forget that people were just like us, people become so distant from the modern person when time passes. we forget that people got up in the morning, thought about what they had to do that day, thought about mundane things, made jokes, had long conversations. We view people from another time though the perspective of movies, books, or photos. These types of videos remind us that people were like us

This video definitely helped me realize people were…people, back then. No different from us today. 100% agree!

I wonder if those eagles heads have been there ever since with little to no modifications just some weather coatings? I don't know. That would be incredible. Seeing these guys working hard and their work lasting almost 100 years later , with high winds and weather, incredible!! I don't know. Anyone know?

[@Knightleycon]

Probably, they didn't look a lot. Cause when u work at high places, after a few moments ur used to it and concentrate to the work. Sometimes u look down, but the little swinging isn't a problem anymore when u get there everyday

[@chriswilkinson7654]

The dude overseeing the assembly of "The Eagle" working without even the most basic gloves... could've wound up with all the digits in one hand lost, yet everything went as smoothly as pie. No harnesses, or nets, and not even widened extensions to the surfaces of the Carnegie beams and girders, not even non-skid. This stuff is DECADES before OSHA was even thought of. Insane courage, bravery, clear thinking, optimism, and BALLS. No early morning hangover- burdened sots, or druggies working here, seemingly.Even fatigue and the everyday difficulties if life would challenge the straightest guy TODAY. Wheaties and Cheerios must've had some secret ingredients back then😂 lol They are working as if on the ground. MAN what a good group of CHAMPIONS!
