Summary

The March 1998 Beaver Beacon profiles Larry Malloy’s one-passenger elevator in a two-story Paradise Bay home built by his grandfather, whose street-level butcher shop and upstairs residence predated the elevator. The profile also recognizes Malloy’s work as chairman of the Transportation Authority during the Emerald Isle’s financing, construction, and approval process.

Evidence limits

This is a newspaper profile, not a building permit, elevator inspection, property record, or complete Transportation Authority history.
