  • WHY Does The Building Have to Be Torn Down? I Love The Innovation Brusior.

  • They say the building has deteriorating maintenance, the infrastructure they say is functionally obsolete, and doesn't meet the computer/electrical technology needs of today. But this building is from the early 1960's, and to me it's still working well, plus I do like Innovation and CJ Anderson fixtures a lot.

  • That Bad Boy Is BEAUTIFUL for an Elevator. Pretty Far From The Call Button, But Still, Its HUGE. Love It!

  • Yes, this is a rather nice elevator, and it's interesting how the buttons are offset from each other. Sadly this building will be torn down next year which I find dumb, mainly because of the elevator that has been modernized.

  • It sure is a neat elevator, in that I rarely see a high rise elevator with rear doors.

  • It sure is.
