Most people pass the HSB main office without a second glance. But what these uninterested passersby are unaware of is that the building holds an architectural treasure: Stockholm’s last paternoster elevator.
In the past, paternoster lifts were in office buildings, archives, and other places where people frequently traveled between floors. This is because these elevators move much more efficiently than traditional elevators.
