Incredible colorised footage from 1929 of construction workers on the Chrysler Building in New York.

I’m just impressed that it has audio

If you wanted solid, definitive proof that the past did, in fact, happen, here it is.

I’m surprised the structure was able to support the weight of every set of BRASS FUCKING BALLS on all of those construction workers. Pre-safety gear/OCEA was wilding man.

TERRIFYING

[monstrousgourmandizingcats]

Many of these men were Mohawk Native Americans! The Mohawk had a reputation as ironworkers and worked on most of the big interwar-era construction projects in NYC, also including the Empire State Building and the George Washington Bridge.
