Dover Traction elevator @ The Hall Hotel Mayfield KY

This is the elevator at the historic Hall Hotel in Mayfield KY. The building was built in the early 1900s and originally had 68 rooms and a room cost 2.25 with your AAA discount according to a vintage post card i found online. Now it is an office building. The elevator was modernized by dover in the 1980s.

wow, Dover ruined this historic elevator

[dieselducy]

I never saw it before it was modernized but i bet it was nice. i believe this elevator was put in in 1984, or 1987 I can't remember. I used to know the building owner when i lived In KY and he said it was at the point where it was breaking down on a regular basis.
