Concord, MA: BEAUTIFUL Concord Free Public Library, and Craptacular Schindler Elevator

Since viewpoints are scarce, and the Lobby was too crowded, we get as good of a view as we can, at upper and lower levels of the Atrium, at the Concord Free Public Library, Concord, Massachusetts.
Since the library was featured in a travel calendar, and not far from Work, I went to see it in-person. It's BEAUTIFUL, and is MUCH BIGGER inside, than it looks on the outside. Problem is, all the balconies are off-limits, so I do what I can, which isn't a lot.
Speaking of letdowns, we ride the Schindler Hydraulic Elevator, and it rides as bad as this lift is asthetic to the building. Rough, bouncy, it's Schindler!
(Initially I thought KONE, while getting a start point for the video, but the sounds of the hydraulics is 100% Schindler. The ride in-video matches in crappiness.)

So you think this may have been modernized?

@suzzex

I assume so, since KONEelevatorman111 mentioned there was a ratty unmodded MT in another area of the library.

Yup - sounds like a Holeless Telescoping

@jaymietreadwell

Also sounds like a very bad decision for an elevator, too. :)

Maybe some other time.

There is another elevator to the history room that you might have missed. It's an even crappier Schindler HT.
