lpoutine,
Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "The Union Club" in forum "Victoria Pubs, Bars and 19+ Venues".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It creaks and groans and has, on occasion, suddenly stopped and trapped people inside.
But for the past 112 years, the elevator at the Union Club of British Columbia has done a yeoman's job of getting countless members, guests, staff, freight, food and furniture between four floors of the historic building.
While it may not be the oldest lift in the province, the Union Club's elevator is believed to be one of the oldest still in operation and has long been considered a "hidden gem" in the private club.
That ends next week when Richmond Elevator starts pulling out the old wood-panelled lift, its flexed-brass doors and the inner workings of steel pulleys and cables, to make way for a state-of-the-art elevator.
