Gord did a song about the men who build them.
from another article:
Some men are paid good money to climb to the top of The Toronto Dominion steelwork.
Gordon Lightfoot would like to get to the top of the Commonwealth's tallest building too. But he can't get clearance.
"I'm writing a song about it," he says."But I'd feel a lot better about it if I could go up there and get the feel of it for myself."
Steelwork on the building is now at 46 floors, with 10 to go.
"I'm disappointed there aren't any Mohawk Indians on the project" he says. "It would add a twist to the song. I'm told most of the steelworkers are from Newfie."

Very true.. Newfies and native folk guys love the high steel work.
They also built the skyscraper buildings in New York as well as those in many other cities.
Not this Newfie guy though. Me a terra-firma with a hint of vertigo. Ground zero, a guitar in hand between two barrels of sweet brown ale would be my dig.
