From the before OSHA file

The view from atop the Smith-Young Tower (Tower Life) skeleton during it’s 1929 construction. Of special note is the view up St. Mary’s featuring the Petroleum Commerce Building (Drury Inn Riverwalk), St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Gunter Hotel and Empire Theater in the background on the left side. Gone are the days of bow ties and fedoras on construction sites.
