Old Otis Traction elevator @ Rush Rhees Library University of Rochester NY from 1930

Uploaded by dieselducy on Dec 10, 2009
This elevator is in excellent condition for its age. A BEAUTIFUL example of a well preserved historic otis elevator. Originally installed in 1930 the interior button panel MIGHT have been upgraded at some point due to the fact that back in the 1930s the emergency button simply had "alarm" or "A" on the button. the "Emerg Call" came about in the early 60s i believe. however this style (small bakelite buttons) fixture has been around since the turn of the century. This elevator is of much higher quality than a modern one.

I am glad that the library has decided to leave this elevator alone since these historic elevators have charm that the modern elevators do not.

Cool elevator. The oldest elevator I've rode that's still original is the 1904 Otis elevator at Oaklawn Jockey Club in Hot Springs, AR.

The Majestic hotel had a westy, an otis, and an esco, all from the 50s and they were beautiful, too bad they shut down
