Some of Lewis Wickes Hine's photographs of the construction of the Empire State Building in 1930-1931. The contemporary disregard for health and safety which led to five deaths is evident. The soundtrack is "Each Day", one of Jelly Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers' recordings from 1930.

Skyscraper technology just seemed too far beyond it's time in this period to me, especially around the turn of the century. It was like Stonehenge of the modern era.
Take the Singer Building for example: 42 stories tall, plumbing and electricity, yet only 5% of the rest of Americans have electricity at all.
What a time of wild technological leaps and bounds.
