Warped Elevator

This unusual elevator was uncovered in Queens by Scouting New York while searching for office space. Who knew such an unusual installation could lurk behind those unassuming doors? Resembling something from a Tim Burton fantasy, this elevator is a remnant from when the former Macy’s warehouse building catered to a more artistic clientele. The entire lobby was once adorned with similar décor, most of which has been removed as part of a conversion to more traditional office space. The elevator includes a fisheye mirror at one end, while the ceiling is lined with small monster heads cobbled together from mechanical parts.

Since 1953, Elevator World, Inc. has been the premier publisher for the global vertical transportation industry. It employs specialists in Mobile, Alabama, and has technical and news correspondents around the world.
