Impacts of the Elevator

By June 16, 2014December 27th, 2021Blog

Although we now see one almost every day, and never think of it as being the invention of a century, elevators really did have a big impact on our everyday lives.

After the creation and release of the first safe passenger elevator, the building industry was revolutionized. Before the widespread use of elevators most residential and commercial buildings were limited to 6 or 7 stories. In residential buildings this meant the wealthy paid more to live on lower floors and the poorer residents were required to climb many flight of stairs. The elevator completely reversed this trend, as exemplified today by penthouse suites.

For the foreseeable future elevators will continue to remain an indispensable part of buildings. They are found in almost every office building and many buildings have elevator banks, or several elevators all in one area. Continually so, elevators are also becoming more prominent in residential homes. An elevator can make a home instantly so much more accessible among the mobility challenged.
