The Oregon City Municipal Elevator is a 130-foot (40 m)[2] elevator which connects two neighborhoods in Oregon City in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is one of at least 8 outdoor municipal elevators in the world.[2] The upper portion contains an observation deck which accounts for its flying saucer appearance.
There have been two elevators at this location. The current elevator was built in 1954–55,[3] and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[1]
