- 60-inch Rockefeller building under construction, 1931 November 11
- Scope & Content:
-
Construction site of the 60-inch building, seen from the west. The primary brickwork is in place: the foyer in the south-west, and the circular dome support wall. On top of the circular wall the lowest portion of the metal wall truss can be seen, supported on stacked columns of wood. Two tall V-shaped structures with guide ropes are visible left of centre. A machine with a "RANSOME" name plate is in the middle-ground. Some 17 people can be seen on the construction site. PLB32_04_2059 and PLB32_11_2066 were taken around the same time. PLB32_0004, LSB04_0049 and LSB04_0031 are derivatives.
