From CTV News (Bell Media):

"It might seem pretty rare to find a house with an elevator, but chances are higher you might find one in Calgary these days."

How did it work, counterweight, hydraulic ram, chain pulley, or what?

Most kegs just pressurize the beer, and use that for the extraction... But some use a hand pump mechanism, or an external CO2 tank.

This is it right here and has pics of the elevator. The only thing I can compare it to is elevators I’ve been in when visiting family in Europe, specifically the Netherlands. Close the door, pull the gate closed, press button, wait 5 mins to go up one floor lol.

If someone left the gate slightly open you couldn’t call the elevator to whatever floor you were on so it really was kind of pointless to have.
