Smithsonian Warsaw Hand Operated Lift Needs a Home!
January 12th, 2011
Yes you heard it correctly, a fully functional old Warsaw Hand Operated (manual) Dumbwaiter/Material Lift needs a new home. This unit is currently installed in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC and needs to be taken apart and removed from the building. It is in excellent condition and SI is actively trying to find a non-profit museum or like entity that would be interested in acquiring at no charge (except removal/delivery) this fully operational piece of elevator equipment. It’s been kept in great condition and was used just two months ago. If this elevator could talk, boy the stories it might tell.
Final approval and terms will be set by SI. If you are interested in this hand operated elevator please contact Jerry at the Smithsonian. Let’s find a home for this vertical transportation treasure!

Hi Jerry, my name’s Lee. My wife Rebecca & I are very interested in your Warsaw Lift, if still available. We live in Australia & would be more than happy to pay for shipment downunder. I spent 7 years in Washington DC as a student & loved to visit the SI as often as possible. I know that you say you’re content if someone were to pay for shipping alone but I’d be inclined to make a donation to SI fo the honur of taking possession of a gem like this. Please let me know if it’s still available. Cheers, Lee
