This is 16mm home movie from 1929 of the construction of a large estate home. 16MM film was introduced in the 1920's as a home movie medium. Since 35mm film was printed on nitrate filmstock that could easily combust, a smaller gague (16MM) was created that was printed on saftey stock made of acetate that was safe for home use. The cost of a 16MM camera at this time cost more than a car. Thus this is a common example of a 16MM upper class home movie project.
Shovel ready back then was just that..

These old films are amazing, but they show the peoples lives and personalitis and such a short time; its sad that we wont know what ever happened to these people. All of them are LONG GONE dead by now.

I have no idea what brought that reply, but it's clear that intelligence had nothing to do with it.

Did you happen to know the location and whether the house still stands? I guess you would have posted that had you known.
