Question #3

Heather: What artists, musicians, and writers were working at about the same time as when you improved the elevator shaft?

Alexander Miles: Steven Crane was a very famous writer about the same time that I did my work on the elevator shaft. I read a lot of his books including, "Whilomville Stories ," and "The Blue Hotel" . Most of this time period was considered the "Romantic Era" for music. Many famous composers became greatly recognized including Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov; who is best known for his piece "Flight of The Bumblebee."
