    Old videos from 1900
    1930 in color Construction Workers on the Chrysler Building old classic film video
    New York's Chrysler Building, one of the city's most iconic skyscrapers, was built in a remarkably short time--foundation work began in November 1928, and the building officially opened in May 1930. Even more remarkably, the steelwork went up in just six months in the summer of 1929 at an average rate of four floors a week.
    Fox Movietone's sound cameras visited the construction site several times in 1929 and 1930, staging a number of shots to maximize viewers' sense of the spectacular heights. Movietone almost never put somebody in front of a camera without giving them something to say, so a number of scenes include some staged dialogue.
    This Black and White film is colorized using Artificial Intelligence Neural Networks so you can see how was the old times but in much higher quality.
    Weird artifacts can be seen, the colors are not natural but pretty close.

    you forget that people were just like us, people become so distant from the modern person when time passes. we forget that people got up in the morning, thought about what they had to do that day, thought about mundane things, made jokes, had long conversations. We view people from another time though the perspective of movies, books, or photos. These types of videos remind us that people were like us

    He immigrated from Sicily in 1922 . He was very proud to become a naturalized American citizen. He was a kind but tough guy who worked hard and didn’t complain. He was a master plasterer .

No harnesses, or nets, and not even widened extensions to the surfaces of the Carnegie beams and girders, not even non-skid. This stuff is DECADES before OSHA was even thought of. Insane courage, bravery, clear thinking, optimism, and BALLS. No early morning hangover- burdened sots, or druggies working here, seemingly.Even fatigue and the everyday difficulties if life would challenge the straightest guy TODAY. Wheaties and Cheerios must've had some secret ingredients back then😂 lol They are working as if on the ground. MAN what a good group of CHAMPIONS!

      This is the 1920s. There were way less tall buildings then, streets were filled with horse and carriages, no audio like this, etc. This is from the 1920s

      @@UFCKing209 yes and no. Typically when younger people say 1900s, it is the whole 20th century. Older people when they say 1900s, they refer to the first decade of the 20th century. Just like how we say 2000s when referring to the first decade of this century. The 1900s is still most of the times used to refer to the first decade of the 20th century. So there can be a lot of confusion when people say that because some will think you’re talking about the whole 20th century or the first decade.
