You are correct that the crank is for the elevator.  One of those unseen but
cool details.

The "L" shape of the upper floors was a common practice in the early 20th
century and I like the added realism it gives.

Thanks for the comments!

Very nice!  The detail around the upper floor windows is nice.  I like how
the shape of the upper floors is not a perfect square or rectangle, even
though the base is.  The card slots behind the receptionist are a cool
detail.  And can we assume that the crank hidden in the rear connects to a
funtioning elevator?  Cool!
