context_page_description: Stairs, staircase, stairway, stairwell, and flight of stairs are all names for a construction designed to bridge a large vertical distance by dividing it into smaller vertical distances, called steps. Stairways may be straight, round, or may consist of two or more straight pieces connected at angles.
  Special stairways include escalators and ladders. Alternatives to stairways are elevators and inclined moving sidewalks.
