Tourists reading map and guidebook in “Stay Put” hat fashions. Photo by Nina Leen from the observation deck of the Empire State building, New York, 1949.
Excavation of the site began on January 22, 1930. This was about the time that the Great Depression started. The project involved 3,400 workers, mostly immigrants from Europe, along with hundreds of Mohawk iron workers, many from the Kahnawake reserve near Montreal. Governor Smith’s grandchildren cut the ribbon on May 1, 1931.
