Painters on the Woolworth Building in New York City, 1926
This one is for the men who risked their lives to make sure that the Woolworth Building in Manhattan, New York was properly painted. Back in 1926, these guys had to go to the top of one of the world’s tallest buildings to make sure that it looked its best. To work on such a project, not only must you trust your harness, but you must also trust your crew.
If you think getting to the side of the building was hard, imagine having to eat your lunch above the rest of the city. There were one of two options, either you climb back inside or you keep it with you. How things have changed.
