Elevator "A"
Image
Stereograph; elevated view of what was supposedly the largest elevator in the world at the time. Though there is a Peirce & Whaling Company imprint over the photograph, this company dealt in heavy hardware, railway supplies, etc., and the elevator does not necessarily belong to this company. Elevator is in a large building in the background with several houses and businesses in the foreground.
