I was actually at the mall and the mall flooded completely and the East Broadway and South Avenue elevators were flooded and the shaft collapsed.

@TheZekethunder when did the mall flood??

Weird... Floor 0. Why didn't they make it 1-3?

[suzzex]

Montgomery modernized by KONE.  Interesting floor "zero".

[chiefbozx]

@SkyFitsHeaven24 No, the numbers are one less than they should be. 0 is supposed to be 1, 1 is supposed to be 2 and 2 is supposed to be 3. There is a basement, but these elevators don't serve it.

[TheZekethunder]

These elevators were obviously modernized. There is an old indicator to the side of each elevator. Plus, the doors don't look like a Montgomery design. And, KONE has a very precise door close and it doesn't slam. These do. So, Montgomery I think was the brand before this.

@dieselducy The mall flooded in 2009.

This was modernized by KONE but I think the hydraulics are original. The cab is NOT from the 90's! It looks very modern.
