Antique Dover Traction elevator @ First National Bank Building Roanoke VA

This is the dover elevator at the old First National Bank Building in Roanoke. This should be a better shot than the first. I might do one more photo of this elevator at a later date.

these fixtures are ADA compliant as they have the braille plates next to the buttons

This is a real classic right here. I hope they keep it for a while and I also hope ThyssenKrupp keeps their little hands off of it too!

I could imagine so many creepy things popping into the elevator at the basement lol

The sign said this car up. But did you notice the 2 down arrows on the side of the sign?

Yes, that of course happens, but hopefully it won't happen for a long time.

Unfortunately, it will probably be modernized at some point.

The fixtures look like the ones on Blackburn. There is a list of things different with these elevators that I will not mention those differences. One thing is that there both not the same type (not brand). That's all.
