Notes
  • Elevator was removed from building and moved to Baltimore Museum of Industry in 2008.
  • Significance: The Bates Hoist Machine, also known as a hand elevator, is a rare surviving example of a "safety elevator" design developed and manufactured in large numbers in Baltimore and widely used in industrial and warehouse buildings during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. At the time of documentation in 2009, the building was being remodeled for use as a bank. The hoist machinery was later dismantled and stored at the Baltimore Museum of Industry.
  • Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: N1235
  • Survey number: HAER MD-169
