Bye-bye 80s Copley Place pink marble and brass!! The first 3 low-rise cabs are done. Eventually they will all look like this. This renovation started on September 1, filmed on October 23.

I like the cab, but I must say I miss the indicators. Hope they replace the controller, but keep the fixtures.

@airplanegod This elevator has had the digital indicator for years. No one has any idea why this is the only one of the ten that got upgraded. The rest of the elevators (including the other 2 that have new cabs) still have the massive old zig-zag indicators.

BEAUTIFUL cab!

@suzzex The walls are actually strips of brushed metal waving in and out, which is a VERY expensive wall treatment. It's amazing. I realized after that I didn't say it on camera.

@ElevatingBoston impressive elevator. weaving walls are very decorative. good bright indicator. some of them are dimmer. it seems to run smoothly.

@airplanegod moving numbers like that are fun. maybe that one zig zag indicator was dying.

First the mods at the Long Wharf and now this. I'm gonna need to make my way our to both of these hotels this week and get my last rides on the un-modified elevators!

@ElevatingBoston Maybe they are preserving the ones that are still working fine and replacing the ones that need to. Maybe they recognize it's a much nicer design than the generic digital indicator?
