Sky high


Elevators are about 80 feet high. Getting to the top requires ladders and lifts. This ladder on the outside of an elevator in Carrot River, Saskatchewan, provides an interesting perspective on how tall these elevators really are. Enjoy the climb!

Weroth, great to see this blog and the elevator forum are giving these old wooden elevators some of the recognition they deserve. Its sad to see them disappear but I guess that is progress. We have lost all our elevators in my town of Lipton but I have photos taken over the years of most of them including demolition. Hope to post a few of them on the site.
