Well, that building may be gone already, but I am almost 100% certain, after comparing today's Google Street photos, from 4:22-4:50, that's Union Square and in that block (North block) is the Barnes & Noble building (finished in 1881). The two adjacent buildings are gone, but the leftmost still exist as well. so that building being built may be gone, because there is a modern building with a Best Buy store, unless that high-rise is the other building next to Whole Foods (Broadway and 14th) whose first 5 floors are renovated but the rest could be over 100 years old. The avenue to the right of that Barnes & Noble block was called Fourth Avenue, now it is called Park Avenue South.
I think it's 821 Broadway. Completed in 1907. Matches the time. You can also see the corner feature of 841 Broadway in the same scene. Comes from a longer film (V-1433 on screenocean), this was just a segment cut out of it. Can't believe I took the time to research this. Not even from the US.
Summary 840 Broadway Building A highly intact 12-story Renaissance Revival style commercial building, 840 Broadway was designed by the noted architect Robert Maynicke for developer Henry Corn in 1899-1901. The building originally housed small manufacturing and wholesale businesses, largely associated with the garment industry, through the mid-20th century. The ground floor was occupied by a succession of clothiers, including the Thompson Company, Lester & Company, and Goodyear Waterproof Company, manufacturers of raincoats and related apparrel. 840 Broadway was converted to a mixed-use cooperative in the 1970s. 840 Broadway is a notable example of a high-rise store-and-loft building built during a period of large-scale commercial development in New York City, particularly in the Union Square area. This development was initiated as a result of the introduction of elevators, electricity and steel framing at the turn of the 20th century, which made tall buildings more cost effective to build. In anticipation of the IRT subway opening in 1904 there was a surge of new construction north of the traditional loft districts of Lower Manhattan, which made rents more affordable for manufacturers and wholesale companies that moved to this stretch of Broadway. Born in Germany, architect Robert Maynicke (1848-1913) studied mechanics and mathematics at the Cooper Union in New York City. By 1873, he was employed by George B. Post, where he supervised the architecture firm’s work on early elevator buildings. Maynicke left Post’s office in
Fine to express admiration for their nerve, but lets also collectively decide that no one should have to work under unnecessarily dangerous conditions in a civilized society and always strive to improve conditions for the people working to keep it running.
@@eucherenkov Even if they had harnesses and helmets, they would never have worn any of it. Even today, a lot of people only wear the safety gear because they have to. If they can get away with taking it off, they do.
Back then, many men tried to put on a persona of toughness, and didn't try to show emotion or fear. Like it was a way to show that you were macho and a man. It is a very stupid way to behave, but it is what many used to do, and some still do. It stems, I think, from insecurity issues and/or being more afraid of going against societal expectations and thinking for one's self. Don't know if this is what is going on in this video with these men, but if you look at the older generations of men, say around 75 or older, many of them seem to think that a younger man is of less value to society unless he is working much of the time
Your work is sublime!! Made me feel as though I was there with those gentlemen. Nice touch with the accompanying piano. All that was missing is popcorn. 🤭 Great skit at the end. I imagine that's what it was like watching the moving pictures of the 20s.
@Thegame .Dev Imagine if they kept fist fights on that same floor after the building was complete. "Oh do you have a problem sir!?" "Hell yes I do! Lets take this up to the 32nd floor and solve this man to man!" * steps into elevator "32nd floor please bell hop" Bell hop: "Fist fights going up"
So someone decided to fill a little skit during a the building of a skyscraper. Probably with some of the workers while they are on their break. You know, pretending to through each other off the building lol. Love it
There is no way I could be up that high working like that. My body and brain would would start trembling and becoming dizzy and petrified fear would have hold of me. Absolute no for me.
No choice back then for the average man. Do it or go hungry. Simple as that. And people will tell you we have it bad today. Yeah it could always be better, but it could be a lot worse.
Just think that some people watching your videos could very well be staring at a great great relative that’s smiling,waiving or simply walking by and they don’t even know it! 🤯

So I guess it's a building very close to Penn Station. But maybe it's just a commercial painted on a brick wall of another building.

Increíble!!!!... cómo ha cambiado el mundo y nuestras vidas, y tan solo un siglo poco más o menos. Hoy sin máquinas eso es ya imposible, salvo casos extraños. Pongamos a un trabajador de hoy en día en esas circunstancias y ni en broma lo hece.

Closer to 120 now.

840 Broadway Building
A highly intact 12-story Renaissance Revival style
commercial building, 840 Broadway was designed
by the noted architect Robert Maynicke for

originally housed small manufacturing and wholesale
businesses, largely associated with the garment
industry, through the mid-20th century. The ground
floor was occupied by a succession of clothiers,
including the Thompson Company, Lester &

manufacturers of raincoats and related apparrel. 840
Broadway was converted to a mixed-use cooperative
in the 1970s.
840 Broadway is a notable example of a
high-rise store-and-loft building built during a period
of large-scale commercial development in New York

development was initiated as a result of the

I’m amazed at what construction workers were able to do over 100-120 years ago
Imagine that for this men it was either this or unemployment
What...... acting?
And long before the dole!
or just move out of nyc
Yeah, some actors will do anything for a paycheck!
and then realize the same is still happening today in countries like dubai :)
I love the special effects since it is impossible that anyone existed before 2001.
Nice sarcasm

Incredible how being up that high without any safety gear didn't faze them one bit they really were men of steel.

I can't believe this won an Oscar for best drama.
I didn't expect this to be a narrative film, I thought it was going to be an actual documentation of the time.
Don't fight boys. The guy in the bowler is from OSHA.
Your work is sublime!! Made me feel as though I was there with those gentlemen. Nice touch with the accompanying piano. All that was missing is popcorn. 🤭 Great skit at the end. I imagine that's what it was like watching the moving pictures of the 20s.
This truly is the safest place for a casual brawl. Insane how loose people were back then. It seems so free, and so scary at the same time
The fight was clearly staged
it's a film showing what not to do. A safety film.
@Thegame .Dev Imagine if they kept fist fights on that same floor after the building was complete. "Oh do you have a problem sir!?"
"Hell yes I do! Lets take this up to the 32nd floor and solve this man to man!"
* steps into elevator
"32nd floor please bell hop"
Bell hop: "Fist fights going up"
These men had some serious balls
"If we tried to build a statue of them, there wouldn't be enough concrete to make their balls."
So someone decided to fill a little skit during a the building of a skyscraper. Probably with some of the workers while they are on their break. You know, pretending to through each other off the building lol. Love it
Imagine being freakishly worried over the safety of men who probably already died DECADES before you were even conceived!
I know! I was shouting at the guys on the crane - No, don't wave, hang on!
There is no way I could be up that high working like that. My body and brain would would start trembling and becoming dizzy and petrified fear would have hold of me. Absolute no for me.
It makes me anxious just watching these guys up there!
No choice back then for the average man. Do it or go hungry. Simple as that.
And people will tell you we have it bad today.
Yeah it could always be better, but it could be a lot worse.
As you can see this is staged.
This literally inverted my sphincter for a solid 5+ minutes
