Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The main entrance of the funicular is located in the historic House Louis Jolliet. The house was built in 1683 by the architect Baillif for Louis Jolliet. He lived here until his death in 1700. It was restored in 1978.
Built by William Griffith, the first funicular went into operation on November 17, 1879. The cabins scaled up and down the escarpment by means of a counter weight water process and steam power. - In 1907, Alexander Cummings converted the funicular to electrical power. - On July 2, 1945, a massive fire destroyed the structure. Reconstructed in 1946, the new funicular was equipped with metal shelters. - In 1978, major renovations were undertaken and glass cabins offered a panoramic view. - In 1998, the funicular was entirely revamped with modern technology. - In 2004, the funicular celebrated 125 years of services. A book was published and the event was commemorated with a statue. - This is the only funicular of its kind in America |
