Downey-Goodlein Hydraulic Elevator at RIT Fine Arts Bldg

That thing used to be covered in artwork until they repainted it a few months back.

Well it is a fine arts building. SO i guess "fine art" in the elevator is to be expected :)

Hehe, that's what I was thinking. =)

Dunno if you remember, but the MFA in Boston has an old Otis (in the Rotunda) with 3-speed doors.

I remember there was a quote that said, "When the going get weird, the weird turn pro. Now it's just weird." in this elevator.

Wow, that's a huge elevator, and what is the capacity of the elevator?

[musicfreakcc]

7500 lbs.

I went on this elevator last summer without a camera and it was 7000 lbs.

Interesting how it uses 7000-7500 Lbs. capacity with 75HP motor, and these are very rare capacities.
