This is a nice piece of public infrastructure that increases accessibility in Quebec City, while also offering a relaxed way to get to higher and lower point of elevation in the city for people of all means. TLDR; not feeling like walking up a bunch of stairs to get from St Roch to St Jean? This elevator is for you.
Ascenseur du Faubourg, 1942 by Wilfrid LacroixThe Faubourg Elevator is a prime example of public Art Deco architecture and holds significant architectural value.Originally designed to accommodate two elevator shafts, only one was operational initially. This elevator could transport 16 people and travel 300 feet per minute, completing a round trip in one minute.
Never had any problems. Except that it closes too early some evenings. It would take more opening hours for people with reduced mobility. It's the only elevator that connects the upper town so it's important.
