Adams Leaning Elevator

Built in 1926 and operated until 1983 when it was added to the National Register of Historical Places. It was burned down in August 2018 due to safety issues.

This elevator would sway with the strong Oklahoma winds according to locals. After a news story broke in 2017, people came from near and far to check out this icon. We were scheduled to go there for a milky way photo with it and they burned it just a few days before we were to be there.
