Epic side doored Otis (mb. Otis) elevator at the Soldiers & Sailors Memorial in Pittsburgh PA

(📹 6/14/2024) HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! Here is the elevator at the Soldiers & Sailors Memorial and Museum in Pittsburgh PA. It had black buttons originally, then modded by Otis again with Series 2 fixtures. Nice to see that this is equipped with a side door. The brakes and motor sound epic too. This also accelerates pretty fast too. A big thank you to the guy for letting me ride and film this and also giving us a tour of this awesome place that is featured in The Silence of the Lambs.
