Main Entrance Construction with Woman, Circa 1911

Well, here’s another surprise. See her perched on top of the pile of bricks at left? Zoom in and you can see she’s wearing a cute outfit:

I’ve been trying to think whether I’ve ever seen another woman on one of these early construction sites and I’m pretty sure the answer is no. I don’t see any workers around and I wonder if it might be a Sunday or a holiday. Weird that it’s a professional photograph, though.

Bonus: It was a beautiful day today, with some early signs of spring.
