¿Qué significa what is the meaning of "four by four elevator"? ?

"The hop and I rode a four by four elevator to the second floor and walked a couple of blocks around corners. " The sentence is from a detective novel The Lady of the Lake by Raymond Chandler. If "four by four" here means the area of the elevator, wouldn't be too large for an elevator of a hotel in the 1950s?
