EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of the fifth-floor workshop at Geyser Electric Water Heater Company on Hudson Street in New York City. Taken on December 31,1914, by renowned photographer William Davis Hassler, this image offers a glimpse into the world of early 20th-century manufacturing. The workshop is alive with activity as men diligently work at their lathes, surrounded by an array of machinery. The air is thick with industry and ambition as these skilled workers manufacture water heaters that would soon become essential household items across America. Intriguingly, this photo was specifically commissioned by the Geyser Electric Water Heater Company itself. It serves as a testament to their commitment to quality craftsmanship and innovation in an era marked by rapid industrialization. The image showcases not only the impressive machines but also highlights the dedication and expertise of these male workers. Their focus is evident in every detail captured by Hassler's lens - from their precise movements to their determined expressions. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in American history when industries were flourishing and dreams were being realized through hard work and ingenuity. This photograph stands as a tribute to those who built our nation's foundations brick by brick – one lathe turn at a time.
