Schumacher Elevator is proud to share our recent work at the historic Governor’s Mansion at the Terrace Hill Estate in Des Moines, Iowa.
Our team completed a thoughtful modernization of the property’s hydraulic elevator system by upgrading key components while preserving the character and integrity of this iconic landmark.
This custom project included:
-A fully customized cab interior featuring dark-stained white oak walls, custom trim molding, specialty fabricated wood components, and coordinated brushed-gold accents
-Custom brushed-gold hoistway entrances
-A complete upgrade of elevator controls, fixtures, and signal equipment
-Removal and replacement of the existing hydraulic jack
-Installation of a new, custom-built hydraulic power unit
-New car buffers and pit equipment
This project was completed in partnership with DCI Group and the State of Iowa, with design led by OPN Architects.
A beautiful blend of craftsmanship, modernization, and historic preservation delivered by Schumacher Elevator.
