Does anyone know of a skyscraper in New York with preferably the lift (elevator) on the outside of the building or with windows and a NY skyline view as it travels up the inside?? We're hoping to acheive a specific shot for a BBC documentary (not about Skyscrapers I might add).
Please email me as soon as possible if you can help.

  I don't know of any such building -- anyone?
  What comes to e-mailing answers, it may be an understandable request here, due to the hurry, but, similarly to Usenet Newsgroups, it nevertheless often gives a feeling that the inquirer isn't interested enough in the proceedings of the discussion group to bother him/herself follow the discussions.

    I agree. Let's not steal customers away from this forum.
    Anyway, I think I've seen a lift hanging out of the Trump International Hotel on Central Park West.
    I'm not absolutely positively sure, but one corner of the building was carved out to accomondate the capsule-like lift and its path. My impression is that everything about the building is kind of dark and metallic,so I can't remember if the capsule had got a glass to look out, but then what's the point if it hasn't?
    Just to make sure, I'll go try the stuff this evening if I can.
    Thank you for the neat website!

      There is no observation elevator in the Trump International (ex-Gulf and Western Building) either. Probably there are none in NYC? ED.

  There is a building at the SW corner of Broadway and 34th St. that has elevators with windows to the outside. But the view of the skyline from there isn't very spectacular since it's only 7 stories.
