I did a post about elevators a while back, but this one was too cool to pass up!
We just returned from a historic lodge which had this elevator. You opened the door and then pulled the gate back to get in. There were modern elevators in the lodge also, but we went out of our way to always use this one. The only other time I have seen an elevator like this was in Europe years ago.
So, what is the history of the elevator? Who invented it? Where was it invented? (Reading)
Design an elevator (Math). Construct an elevator (Math). What will elevators in the future look like (Writing/Math)? Lots of authentic ways to go with this…up, down…sideways?
