We generally regard the BookPeople freight elevator with suspicion — it’s large, loud, uninviting — but, as the saying goes, you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.

wow, pure genius.
This “Ode to a freight elevator” beautifully captures the often underappreciated importance of these workhorses. From their utilitarian function to their rich history, freight elevators hold a special place in the world of vertical transportation. Thank you for reminding us of their significance and paying homage to these unsung heroes of the built environment!
