PVE52 three-stop vacuum elevator, New Orleans

PVE52 vacuum elevator, three stops · New Orleans, Louisiana · 2025

Top of a clear vacuum elevator at the upper landing of a stairwell, with cable railings around it and windows onto the water and a breakwater behind — Installed by Carl and Kendall, before Gulf South Elevator was formed.

A PVE52 serving three floors of a home on the water in New Orleans. The tube stands in the stairwell and rises from the entry, past the kitchen level, to the top landing, with the stairs wrapping around it.

The PVE52 is the largest model and accommodates a wheelchair. Because the tube is clear, the view of the water carries through it on every floor.
