Chicago Iron Workers Recreate the Legendary 1932 ‘Lunch Atop a Skyscraper’

Chicago’s local iron workers recently remade the iconic ‘Lunch Atop a Skyscraper’ photo—the legendary snapshot originally taken in 1932. Sitting casually on a steel beam, these modern workers pay tribute to the brave souls who built the city’s skyline nearly a century ago.

The remake captures the same daring spirit, camaraderie, and maybe a little nostalgia for simpler times (and fewer safety harnesses). It’s a powerful reminder of the grit and guts behind every towering skyscraper—and a celebration of Chicago’s ironworking legacy that still stands tall today. A timeless homage connecting past and present, beam by beam.
