History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

The Empire State Building

This photograph of a workman assembling the framework on the Empire State Building was taken in 1930. When it opened to the public in 1931, its' 103 stories were recognized as the world's tallest building until 1972, when the World Trade Center was erected. The Chrysler Building can be seen in the background to the right.
