Interesting short documentary from Bloomberg about a very old elevator that's sadly been ripped out and replaced by a modern one... From the YouTube description: In a residential loft building in Chelsea, one of New York City’s original horse elevators managed to survive into modernity - against all odds. Installed in the late 1880s to lift horses to the upper floors of a 5-story stable, it served the equestrian parking needs of New York’s booming Chelsea neighborhood until being converted for freight, and later, residential use. In this exclusive Bloomberg Originals documentary, take one last nostalgic ride in a disappearing vestige of New York’s history. submitted by /u/dreamsforsale [link] [comments]
