Description One of the distinguishing features of our house is this dumbwaiter or elevator used to transport canned good and whatnot back in the day from the pantry in the basement directly to the first floor. It is hand operated with ropes on both sides (to go up and down) and is attached to steel braided pulley and steel counterweights. The only markings visible is "Energy Elevator Company Philadelphia". We are remodeling our galley kitchen and need the room for renovations. We are antique lovers and would like to see it used rather than just scrap it for more room. Keep in mind this unit is built-in to the wall. I can remove the entire unit with everything intact (screws, ropes, weights, etc.) or you may have it removed with your own contractor. This would be a perfect time-appropriate piece if you are restoring a victorian house of the same era.
