Ah, in "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator," the main characters are Charlie Bucket, his grandparents, Willy Wonka, and the President of the United States. They go on a wild adventure in the great glass elevator, exploring space and dealing with the Vermicious Knids. It's a delightful story full of imagination and wonder, just like painting a happy little tree.
Wonka gave him the factory so he left in the glass elevator through the roof, went to his parents and grandparents with Wonka and loaded them into the elevator. There is a second book about the adventure that followed them leaving in the glass elevator. It is called Charlie and the Glass Elevator. Look for it because it is really good and tells what happened to Charlie. I will let you know that at the end of the second book they punch a second hole through the roof of the factory.

The setting of "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator" includes the Chocolate Factory, the Bucket family home, and the space around Earth where the Elevator travels. The story moves between these locations as Charlie and his companions embark on their adventures.
That is a relative question, "The Glass Elevator" in Ronald Dahl's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "The Glass Elevator" is probably the best known fictional elevator. See related link for a site on elevators.
