1 déc. 1931 - The first Rockefeller Christmas Tree is erected during construction
Description:
"During the first winter of the Center's construction, the workers set up a Christmas tree just outside the entrance. It was an uncanny site, to see a green fir in the middle of what appeared to be no man's land. But this tree, humbly ordained with strings of cranberries, buttons, and tin cans, greatly affected me. It demonstrated that even in the darkest of times, the American people will light the beacons of hope. I thought it could be the start of a great and inspiring tradition, so I travelled north to Babylon in search of a Christmas tree for the following year."-John Rockefeller
