Antique Armor Single-Speed Traction Elevator at 50 White Oak St. in New Rochelle, NY

Here is the true antique and classic elevator at the apartments on 50 White Oak Street in New Rochelle NY in Co-Op Apartments. All of the elevators on the block are identical. I do not know the brand, so experienced viewers can comment on their opinions on the brand. This elevator has the classic "pull" door on the floor, and a mechanical sliding door for the cab (which is extremely nice)does not level, has no floor indicator (written on the doors), and HAS the relay-controls. There is only one universal call button for each floor that serves as the up/down button, and the arrows light up according to the elevator's path. For the elevator's age, it runs VERY smoothly. It also has a door close button, but no door open button, which I thought was a little weird. Anyway, enjoy! :)

PS- Yes, the lock on the front door (to the building) was broken as you can tell when I tried to open it!)

Technical Specs-
Brand- Unknown (Otis?)
Type- Single- Speed Geared Traction
Capacity- 2000 lbs.
Speed- 200 FPM
Fixtures- Anyone?
Controls- Relay
Indicator- No

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's an Otis, fixtures I'm not so sure about though.

@Annuix This is a confirmed Armor Elevator with PTL fixtures.

Elevators with windows scare me. The fact that you might see something is eerie.

[TheSzymonJJ]

[schindlerman96]

@suzzex Yeah I would like to film the armor sometime and their D.C. garage elevator

@suzzex Fair enough, don't think I've ever ridden an Armor before. Still, it's a beautiful vintage elevator no matter which manufactuer made it.
