Elves trade with races and also among themselves, and so need a place to store goods as well as elements of civic architecture. It simply would not due to replace an aged, but broken statue (among other aged statues) with one that's freshly made. So elves store goods in such a way that allows control over their exposure to the elements. Elven Warehouse is a two floored structure with a high open roof. A front ramp allows easy access to the covered first floor (which is filled with goods), and a pair of steeply angled ramps at the back allow access to the second floor.
