Reliable Montgomery Hydraulic Elevator - 25 Newton Road - Woodbridge, CT

This video is dedicated to YouTube user airplanegod, since this is his high school. Ironically, I came here not knowing it was his high school!

The school had a huge renovation in 2007, but surprisingly the Montgomery survived. I honestly don't know when this was installed, but I do know it was probably installed in the 1990's. When I entered the high school, I was expecting a Schindler HT, since the outside of the building and the main part of the building is from 2007. However, the Montgomery was located in the older part of the building, so it completely fooled me. According to airplanegod, this is the only elevator here. Montgomery elevators are rare to find in the tri-state area, especially in schools, so this was a real treat. According to other users, Montgomery elevators are very common in the New England region.

Update: This elevator has the past couple of years been getting A LOT of attention from KONE. While nothing has changed, they do a ton of work in the machine room, in the shaft, and on the fixtures. Also suzzex, since you came to Amity last, they installed security cameras!

@airplanegod Did they do that in honor of me? :D

Amity 04 here. This elevator was open for business in 1995. Possibly installed in 1994. The major additions to the school were in 2007, but the school was essentially rebuilt in the mid 90's. So this elevator is as old as the students who use it today.

@jjred86 Thanks so much for the info!

Hi Amity class of 09 here. Good to know we had a nice elevator, Shame though that students are not allowed to use it unless they medically need it. Curious to know how you even got in the place, didn't security chew your nuts off, they sure chewed mine off the following fall after I graduated when I came back for paperwork

@KJCFilmCorp LOL I was here for a convention held on a Saturday.

@suzzex No, sorry, lol. They did that because of an increase of smoking and drug use.

@lolctusachina Walking to the principal saying someone took pictures of an elevator? I think he/she has better things to deal with...
