These Historical Photos Will Make You Wish You Could Turn Back Time

Painters on Top of the Woolworth Building

Merton Allen

Taken in 1926 is this photograph of a team of painters high above the Woolworths building in New York City. The one perched on the very tip of the building next door is truly fearless. This just goes to show the people of today that folks back then did whatever they had to do to earn a living, even if it meant putting their lives on the line to do it. This paint crew sure wasn’t afraid of heights and put a whole lot of faith in their harness.
