A beautiful old elevator...

I found this old beautiful elevator here in Jyväskylä, Finland. In this house there is an entrance that leads to the 2nd floor, so I entered the elevator in the 2nd floor, then rode to the 1st, then to the 5th and then down to the 2nd again.

Even the floor numbers were also in Roman numbers besides the Arabic ones...

I like the style and colours of this elevator...

Yep, it's an old KONE elevator in one building Jyväskylä...

hmmm, not that old, it still has push buttons rather than an up n down lever. I've been in one with a lever.

[Mikey84]

In here many elevators from 1920s already had push buttons... and I believe this elevator has been modernized in the late 1960s or early 1970s...

I agree :)

I'm trying to get the american mentality "why keep old crap and why remember the past?. why keep old exciting and beautiful elevators when we can replace them with modern senseless scrapmetal? Why keep manual doors when you can have boring and ugly automatic?"

there should also be security controls at every elevator so you cant ride it before completely undressing and using hours showing 100s of identity papers. all this while guns are pointing at you.

Did i get the american mentality right?

Cool elevator. It's too bad these types have become less common. They have so much character.
