Independent service is a beautiful thing.

[patricknedz]

@jimster586 I used independent service on the otis elevator here with some guy that was inspecting the phones in here

Why does this elevator stop when you are going down?

[patricknedz]

@TheToploaderwasher because people wanted to get on

[eastcoasttraveler]

at 3:20 did the same people get on that were on the way up?

[patricknedz]

no it was someone else and it was not the same floor they got off at either

[jimster586]

@patricknedz If I were going to film, I would use independent service on these and the OTIS too.

Was there ever an elevator in the set of doors furthest to the right? It looks like a storage closet on the two floors the doors appear on.

very very nice elevators. too bad they were modernized.

This elevator was probably built in the early 1930s. It was modernized probably in the 1970s, because of the buttons and the way the chime sounds. This elevator does look very old.
