Construction Of The Empire State Building
We bet you’ve never seen someone sitting on a beam at the edge of what is now known famously as the Empire State Building. Well, here you can see a steelworker taking a break from working on the building in 1930 to pose for this photo. The person who took this photo was sitting in a specially-made basket that swung 1,000 feet over Fifth Avenue so he could capture these photos!

You were truly one of the lucky ones if you weren’t unemployed during the Great Depression, and it had to take another war in the country before people were healed from this hard time.
