Very Amazing Historic Elevette Home elevator! And I like the way a Table is featured on this elevator.
That table and the design of the buttons being controllable outside would have allowed this to double as a dumbwaiter. Its highly likely that in the era this was installed a house this grand would have at least planned for servants. Probably had them too if the family at the time continued living here after the start of the great depression.
I would imagine food trays could have been sent up or down with no passengers on board.
Yup, it had servants. The owners that installed it lived here from 1913 to 1963. There are newspaper ads looking for a maid and a cook. The house is designed to where you can shut off 1/3 of it and keep the servants in the back of the house, using the elevator.
Love the elevator, and the beautiful grand piano at the beginning of the video. ;)
Very nice, that fold out shelf table would be handy for taking meals up on or grocery sacks.
i wish i had an elevator in my house lol
Mk- but lol
Same
My wife and I also have a ca. 1960 Inclinator Elevette. Exact same lifting motor and controls, almost identical car.
Elevette has been been around for many years. One of my parent's neighbors bought one. And a school for visually impaired children also bought one.
Now THAT is amazing!
That elevator looks very epic
Absolutely beautiful!!
PLEASE NOTE: This is private property. NEVER enter into other people’s houses without permission.
That’s right!
@@carselevators930 good to respect private property.
Elevator Gameing way
@@carselevators930 I will admit that was an amazing elevator
READ THE DESCRIPTION
This home lift is beautiful
Thanks!
Dude that’s awesome and unique imagine having an elevator inside your house
It is awesome
Old but gold.
1930 this elevator is very old but amazing
I like the design of the cab view
I went to Havana years ago and there's still functioning 1920s wrought iron ones from Hemingway's time :)
this is an amazing elevator
I was 15 minutes early so put my phone down and then when I came back I realized that I had missed it by 18 minutes… At least I tryed… amazing elevator though!
What a beauty!
I saw this in the hang out stream :D
Nice. That is very handy for people in needs
When it was installed, the wife fell ill (some sort of 'paralysis' says the newspapers) and their elderly aunt was also living with them.
@@CristopherFoster oh wow. That’s sad
You found that elevator in someones house? That video you filmed in that private house is amazing and the video that you filmed.
Man, that’s a cool one!
thanks!
i love it
Wish all elevators had a table!
For what? :-D
@@Pidalin I once was at a place with an elevator that had a table in it, and I attended my classes online while in that elevator. I used the table as my desk, and I’d always surprise the teachers when I sent the elevator to another floor.
This is awesome!
It is
Awesome coincidence. I live in tampa and play roblox too.
Awesome!
SUPER COOL ! 😎
Beautiful video
Thanks so much
I just now noticed that the hoistway floor is a mini-stairway! That's amazing! So they hollowed out the ceiling above the stairs and made it an elevator shaft. That is cool.
they removed the " back stairs" to put it in the doors look original
it looks newer then 1930 , a lot of churches have these type of lifts
I know, there's one near me
@@force311999 Yeah but that plate says 1929, so it was probably installed around then, & the guy said 1930. It's possible they just used the design for many years, as I have seen it as late as the 90s.
@@EWPA14 they still made them in the 90s with the same controls
a church by me has one just like it from the 60s
these are like a tall wheelchair lift
looks like you have to send it up to use the back door or basement stairs from the inside
I have seen this type of house with back stairs and back door - basement configuration you can see the back door on the right at 5:44
so the retrofit was simple the top landing or winder steps are removed I bet the stairs are in tact and just lead up to the side of the car it would be cool to put a walkable floor on the cartop then the stairs could still work when the car is down the top door has a interlock the bottom don't need one as you can go down to the basement when the car is up
That's neat
NICE VIDEO I LOVE IT
Thanks
Very cool
Nice outro dieselducy
When I first saw this video I actually thought the elevator was gonna be a manual because Ive heard they did have automatic door elevators back in the 30s when this one was installed but they were extremely expensive to put in and the person that owned the house when it was installed couldnt afford that sort of thing
This was awesome. Residential elevators to this day are still like this.
@@DieselDucy cool
I work in nursing homes and the older buildings have some vintage interior ones still operational
Very Noice lift
very neat!!:)
This historic elevator is amazing I think it was built in the 1980
1930.
you found a fun elevator.
Good Stuff
Thanks :)
I like it
Yeesh wish i had an elevator in my home
This guy should use all old 1930s appliances like a old kirby vaccum. They can be retrofitted to use the modern heppa bags.
Diezelducy is best
Thanks so much.
That nice never herd of that company
They still exist! They were shocked when I told them there was still one of these in existence and running.
Nice
Awesome
I love this elevator.
I'd pay any amount to install an elevator at my home. I guess it would be a dream for every enthusiast.
Well what's stopping you?
There are home elevators now, that require minimal infrastructure, and are more affordable than you'd expect.
@@Ham549 My current budget 😅
@@alessandrovisconi1079 Well just FYI they still make this unit.
Super!
Cool
If only you owned this house Andrew
That would be so cool! I’ll never be able to afford something like this though lol
Hahahahahahaha LOL
@@DieselDucy Sure you could, if you invested in stock.
@DieselDucy My house has a elevator but it's a wheelchair lift.
Light switches are made by house of antique hardware
This company built lots of these, I don't know what became of them....perhaps merged with another company. Some had the drive mounted in the top of the shaft with dual chain drive from a dual shaft gear reducer. Most had heavy duty limit switches to act as stop buttons at both landings, as well as a stop button in the car. Pressing the up or down button for a couple of seconds to move the car off the limit switch, would latch the contactor until it hit the next limit switch, which stopped the car at the landing. This was a standard forword / reverse contactor set up. Later models had interlock switches on the gate and landing doors. They were well built and I am not surprised so many still run or would run with slight repairs. Many of these do not meet todays safety requirements, so don't expect many elevator service companies to certify or repair these. If you plan to use one, you should have the machine checked by someone who works with process machinery, to at least verify that is works as it was intended in the 20's and 30''s. The gear reducers and other parts many not have been lubricated in half a century or more. If they were not used much, and have little wear, it is likely with a little love, they will function as designed. Caution should be used if door interlocks are not present. These antiques are cool, but use a your own risk. The shelf is for a food tray, used to send food up stairs to the infirm person that this machine was probably installed for.
Thanks so much for the info! This was a neat elevator :)
What happens if you stuck in this elevator?!
I like this....
Thanks :)
I’m trying to figure out how iCarlys elevator works cause they live an an apartment that had an elevator that goes directly thru there house. Must live in a fancy penthouse i guess
Do people have such lifts in their houses.?
You should make a elevator company to create your own elevators
I know right 😃
I could see where an elevator like this would be good for a physically handicapped person who can't climb stairs. However, I'm very claustrophobic, and I got anxiety fits just watching this elevator go up and down!
THIS MAN HAS A MARYAY SCOTT LIFT IN HIS HOUSE
Yep
Wow this is awesome 🙂
This was amazing.
I wonder if there were residents in the past who were disabled and couldn't use the servant's stairs that they modified into the elevator shaft or if they just wanted to be modern?
The wife here came down with an illness in 1930 and the elevator was installed. There was also an elderly aunt living with them at the time. With two disabled people living here at the same time, the elevator became a necessity.
Amazing European ingenuity
Wow that is incredible! I have never seen a house with an elevator
I did many years ago in a house in S.F. California it was owned by a doctor a relative on my grandfather's side if I remember correctly. It was a 3 story house with a swing out landing door automatic door inside cab and floor buttons, hydraulic It was likely a single phase power unit being in a residential area
TheTheo58 What brand of elevator was it, I don’t know if you remember because it was long ago
@@cjgsasuke unfortunately I don't recall the make it was a commercial type single slide cab door like those in apartments complexes. I rode the elevator with the home owner, the house was located on a steep hill. Elevator went from the main floor to the garage.
how can i get more information about this elevator? a want to draw it.
I am not sure where to get info on this elevator.
Whether or not there were disabled people in my house, I would have installed an elevator in my house. I believe that elevators are essential to even houses. I'd like to be an architect when I grow up, and any houses I design, they will include elevators. As a young architect, I am commited to ADA accessibility. What if someone breaks a bone? For example, my kindergarten teacher once broke her ankle AT SCHOOL, and so we had a long term substitute teacher for two whole months. At home she was unable to use the stairs to get up to her bedroom, and so she had to sleep on the couch. This is why all homes should have elevators.
You can climb stairs while using crutches, it’s just not fast
I wish every house had a elavter
It would be awesome!
Was this automatic already when it was installed? If so, it's much better and faster than the Shepard Home Elevator.
It was.
Is it a Bottom Drive Elevator
I wish I had about an elevator in my house lol
Me too LOL. I want one so bad!
My claustrophobia could never allow me to do this
For a moment I think it’s Robert De Niro
i wish that my house was in a elevator
It is awesome!
This car up
“Civil war dude”
한국어(KR):집안에 엘리베이터가 있네요.
it was awesome!
What is music for Outro?
7:06 rnnnnnnn
This reminds me of some hello neighbor stuff.
The oldest houses I lived in was built in 1900
I really want this house but I’m too poor
Cute baby
Please look installing a space guard. The gap between the doors is way too large and poses a serious risk especially to children.
It does. Kids don’t use this elevator that I’m aware of
@@DieselDucy All it takes is for a child to open to the door and close it behind them without opening the inner door. I have young children and know how quickly things can happen. Seeing the little boy in the video is what has me concerned. Kids are curious by nature.
Once our boys get to the age that they can press the buttons, we’re going to cut the power to it for about five years til they’re older.
in home
1929/30? The cab is assembled with phillips head screws. Not available until 1937. #doubt
I always thought philips is that more complicated type with another X inside of X and simple X screw is older, it looks like it's actually vice versa. :-D BTW both types are terrible, they should made torx already in that time, it's the best type. X head can be easily damaged, same like hexagon head, torx is the best. We switched to torx screws in our company and it's like jump from steam machine to space station, I can't even see philips head now.
@@Pidalin Each serves its own purpose. Actually phillips are designed with the intention of the screwdriver popping out of the screwhead... when torqued enough. That's for factory workers, so it makes it difficult to overtighten them. Torx likewise is great for assembly, as they are accurate and grip right all the time, but often a nightmare for repairmen. Especially on cars where they can get rusty. Then, phillips aren't any better for that situation.
@@madmanmapper Philips must be pushed hardly to not jump out from driver and today you can set torque on your electric driver so star or hexagon are much better for factory. When you have good bit (we have from wurth) it holds very well and it's centred, but it depends on exact version of bit and torx screws, some of them are more simple and it's not centred well.
I think all screws have problem with taking it out when it's damaged. I bought hexagon keys in inch sizes so when I have damaged little screw 1.5 mm, I can use inch key 1/16" (cca 1.59 mm), it works perfectly. I guess it works even vice versa for Americans. Or sometimes I just use flat driver and hammer, it's not elegant solution, but when screw is from softer material (ordinary steel), it works.
I think classic hexagons are the worst when it's small size, you destroy it easily, for small sizes, it's probably better to use classic philips.
Problem with philips is that when you don't push enouth and bit is jumping on screw, you destroy that screw very fastly.
1929 is the patient date on the elevator itself. Doing historic research on the house shows that the young wife of the house became disabled in 1930, they also had an elderly aunt living with them. Both were dead by 1935, so it didn’t make sense that they would bother installing this until after they were gone (the man of the house reads as being an extremely spry individual, known for being lanky and jolly, marching in the town parade every year as Uncle Sam, he lived another 30 years past his wife). It is all, of course, a guess. This would have been one of the highest forms of technology of the era, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they had access to some of the newest materials available of the decade, perhaps even before they were formally on the market.
@@CristopherFoster The simpler solution to the problem may simply be that many screws have been replaced since it was new.
PLEASE NOTE this is Kyrylo house
Ok
ASMR
Hydraulic?
Winding drum
@@DieselDucy Just like the Cotton Gin.
That place is only two floors though.
It could be just the elevator only serves 2 floors.
In that house 🏡 elevator it must be Otis elevator it's a very excellent video I like it 👍👍🎉🌈
CLEARLY not OTIS. The company is in the title AND he said it in the video...
WOOOOOOWWW
My private house
Did I meet you?
so if you buy a house owned by a slave master it's cheap? how did this young guy buy a mansion? I can barely afford an apartment and I'm a Nero surgeon. also I'm pretty sure that elevator was so the servant could move around the house unseen.
Good point. I wonder
Homeowner here. :) This home was $395k, the same price as a basic new built home in our area. I’d say the Lord definitely blessed us-we lived in an old Sunday school room in a church for 13 years serving as youth/children’s pastors, making $35k a year between the both of us working full time. Cockroaches and a homeless soup kitchen downstairs. One day we accidentally drove by this house and jaw-dropped, even got out of the car; this was when it wasn’t for sale. We love history. Zillow said over half a million. We said “we’d never be able to afford a place like that…” and kept driving. Two years later it went for sale, and over 6 months it kept dropping in price, and we jumped on it when it came into an affordable price range. I think the Lord blesses his servants in various ways: maybe with family, friends, homes, peace, contentment. :) So my tip, serve God, and he will give you the things your heart needs, above and beyond full. The Bible says a full jar of blessings, “Pressed down and shaken.”

I want an Elevator in my house
Orona is there for you
me TO
I WANT 100 FLOOR
Lol
A death trap for elevator repair persons. Generally there is zero pit clearance or refuge. Also children have been killed who have hidden in the open space between the car and the wall when the gate is open! An elevator man's nightmare!
1. Put a vertical 4x4 for work protection
2. Tell you kids not to be stupid
