Lunchtime on a skyscraper – 1932
The building of New York City’s skyline was a thing of beauty. This country was built by imagination and hard work and nothing captures that ideal more than New York City. This photo shows a group of laborers taking some time to enjoy their lunch break, 40 stories above the city streets. It’s these people who made $4 a day that built the ideas of architects and developers and created a new landscape, changing the city’s profile forever. These 11 guys were in the process of building Rockefeller Center when this iconic photo was taken on September 20, 1932.
