1971 was a modernization/replacement of the original 1930s elevators. Then 2014 was technically a full mod. rather than a replacement.

Is this an overhead drum elevator? Overhead drum machines are MUCH rarer than basement drum. Did this building have a manual elevator in passenger service as recently as 2011?
@EWPA1424 күн бұрын
Yes & yes I believe. Somewhat unrelated but sadly the last 3 semi-annual inspections have marked this elevator as OOS (including 1 from 2 weeks ago), so I'm not so certain about this elevator's future.
