Elevator trivia

[Recursion]

Otis, the famous elevator company, normally builds perfectly straight elevators.

They have built elevators in curved shafts for precisely two structures. What are those two structures?

[Brother Buzz]

1. How about a clue, like what years did they build them?

Right now, I got spit.

2. St Louis Arch and ????? n/t

[Recursion]

3. Absolutely right on the first.

For the second, look at my avatar photo.

4. gateway arch and the eiffel tower?

[Recursion]

7. Yes to the first, no to the second. Good guess, though.

Both are in the Continental US.

My avatar is a clue to the second.

9. the looks like an architect's compass so i'm guessing it's the freemasons logo?

so maybe some masonic temple???

not familiar with these enough to guess if any have any curves....

5. The Eiffel Tower? n/t

6. Good guess, but no: both are in the Continental US (nt)

8. No way I'd get that without googling and I think you're looking for knowledge. None here, lol.

Unless you want a recap of what I've learned about the monkeys controlling the cabana.

10. I gonna guess

the Luxor in Vegas, Mr. Mason!

[Callmecrazy]

17. That's my guess too...

They call it an "inclinator"
I worked on the construction of the pyramid.

11. I had the Arch.

Washington Monument?

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

12. Definitely not the Washington Monument.

That's a simple straight up and down structure.

I knew the Arch, because I've been there. I probably haven't been to whatever the second one is, or I might have remembered it by now.

I'll hazard a guess at the Masonic Temple in Alexandria, VA.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

13. Yeah. Probably right.

I seem to remember climbing stairs in the Washington Monument

[Recursion]

16. Ding ding

That's the other one

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

20. I got it?!!? OMG!

I never get these things right.

And I simply made a lucky guess.

Many years ago, as in the 1970s, I lived in Alexandria, VA, and I think I made it to the Masonic Temple there all of once in ten years. It was a local landmark, but otherwise not well known or visited, at least not back then. My memory of my visit is rather sketchy, and I recall nothing at all about an elevator.

14. I think True Dough got it

The Luxor and the St Louis arch..,,

[pinboy3niner]

15. I'm gonna win this challenge by asking Otis!

18. Elevators scare the hell out of me

[True Dough]

19. There's nothing to be scared of

Unless they free fall onto the basement floor!
