Boston: Concord Wheelchair Lift @ Boston Public Library

We ride a Concord Wheelchair Lift, at the Boston Public Library, Boston, Massachusetts.
This is the fastest vertical wheelchair lift I've seen, as it travels at a Stomach-Tingling 15 feet per minute!
It is a LOT more quiet going down, than it is up, yet is much more quiet than the screw-driven lifts I've ridden, or seen (in-person).
One drawback: the full-sized door is automatic, which means: "Door closes when it's ready to. I DON'T like that!" :)

No problem, provided memory served me right. I think it did.

It's near the courtyard with the water fountain. There's a door on the right side of one of the walls (other wall has a door in the center). You'll come across a Westy, and next to it, the Concord, if I remember right.

You could do like I did, and just walk all around. That's how I found the 1895 Otis.

Can you tell me where it is located in the library? I am going there over Christmas and would like to ride it!
