Yeah, there are lots of ways to represent elevators. One friend questioned why I opted to put the hoisting equipment in dormers, as many early elevators were hydraulic, with the lifting appartus in the basement (or lower). I just happen to like the looks of dormers, especially on large expanses of otherwise plain roofs. 
The main reason for modelling an elevator at all was to include an open door and a little bit of interest without modelling a more complete interior scene - most of that would be lost in a non-lighted structure, and I'm not at all interested in doing lighted-anything again.
Heck, I purposely take the lights out of my locomotives, too.
