  • (3-2022) This whole building is amazing. The building was built in 1929 so obviously this is a mod but an epic mod! OTIS Autotronic. These elevators run flawlessly and I absolutely LOVE the signal components in the lobby. I am wondering if those are off the original system. Make sure you watch the whole video because you will see a bathroom with an amazing view as well as some photos taken from the 26th floor.

      Also, there are 2 sets of rare Otis Escal-Aire escalators at the Macy’s in Great Northern Mall. The elevator in there was Montgomery with square fixtures and in 2005 it received a slap on mod; most of that elevator is still original except for the fixtures. That building was built in 1965, a decade before that mall opened. When it opened, they connected it to that store; it was originally called May Company Cleveland.

      @@DieselDucy I want saw an elevator at Dupont Children’s Hospital in Delaware that must’ve been at least from the 40s. It had the N used light above the up button and there was a small window in the door where you could see the elevator arriving. The inner door open by itself but you had to open the outer door by hand. Once you’ve got an enclosed the outer door, he would press web for he wanted to go to and the inner door would automatically close. I have a video of it somewhere, but not sure if I’ll post it as it’s from like 2015 or something.
