Very old elevator, Lisbon, Portugal

Very old and clean cabin made with wood and glass. This device was modernized a long time ago.

Yes i have been in Portugal and i found some nice elevators. It is too bad they modernize everything in the United States, because they have the nicest old skyscrabers there. But they could have been new as well because the americans rape the buildings from the inside. It's very sad. They destroy the memory of the past. I am against elevator modernization. Restoration is better, it maintains the elevator and keeps its old style. I don't like modern buttons, doors and floor indicators.

@ATITANIC1992 They half-to. Parents aren't on the lookout for hazard like they used to be. I'm not talking about not paying attention to their children, but watching out for stuff people don't think of anymore. ex sharp corner, hot metal on playgrounds, and here moving objects that could pinch fingers, you see where I'm going with this. When I was a kid, I rode in elevators like this all the time, but was never alowed to ride allone, and had to stand in the back.
