An odd duck of a thing, first created in the 1910s, then revamped in the 1950s (which is why it looks garishly out of place), the elevator was used to help get the people who lived in the hills (and it IS a steep hill) down to their jobs below. Still operational and free and a nifty thing to say you've visited! (As it's nearby, I get to do it a few times a year!)
