| Date | 1961 |
| Caption | Hundreds of feet above the site of the Seattle World's Fair grounds, ironworker Ray Lind inspects the work of his construction crew on the Space Needle. He stands on a wood platform attached to the outside of one of the 500-foot high "legs" of the structure. Lind is excited that he and his fellow ironworkers are among a relatively small group of daredevils who will be able to say: "I helped build the Space Needle." Ironworkers, employed by Pacific Car & Foundry Company (now PACCAR), typically hoist such items as 75-foot girders weighing 31 tons. |
| Notes | Handwritten on sleeve: Lind, Ray; Steelworker on Space Needle.
