BEAUTIFUL! Also, how did u confirm this is from 1890s?
@JimLiElevators16 сағат бұрын
I assume that because the staff told me that this was the oldest elevator on SoHo, and the one I rode on Greene Street is a little newer I think.

Thank you for your birthday wishes, Jim, much appreciated. You are correct as well, I indeed have changed my name to Anatole and things have been crazy but I've been enjoying life. This is a hotel I have been interested in for a while since not much is out there on it, and it is definitely a unique one.
@JimLiElevatorsКүн бұрын
Okay Anatole, thanks so much for verifying that for me. Hopefully I wouldn’t be mistaken from now on, but I’m glad you’re doing well in life. I assume you’ve graduated from hotel school/college and fully working at the job you’ve been passionate for? Because I just graduate from college this past summer! You seem to stay in a lot of hotels based on the interest you are in, as well as the career you are pursuing.

Huh… for toilet fans who are watching the part at 15:49, this is basically an odd toilet (probably a Zurn Titan toilet)? Which is basically an Eljer Titan toilet with the older 2000s Zurn logo. On the other hand when it came to the elevators, it is not very common to see a Thyssenkrupp Aurora elevator that is a traction.

@NeilPrasad_1905Күн бұрын
Seeing everything u said in the description, I don't really blame you. Also, the hotel is kinda nice actually, vintage with some modern bits. Overall? It's a 7.5 out of 10 from my personal point of view. Another thing I wanna mention, not all modern hotels are bad and generic. Some modern hotels are also good nowadays in their own ways. It may even attract nice elevators too. Off-topic? I ran into something unusual on KZbin today. Hitachi elevators at this new hotel in Wan Chai district of Hong Kong called Hopewell Hotel. They may be modern 2024 installs, but actually have mechanical bell chimes (not even kidding)
@DylanTindallКүн бұрын
Very nice historic hotel. I do agree with you regarding the elevators. They could've just kept the old elevators, the new elevators behind the old looks a little weird.
@DylanR99Күн бұрын
I guess… but on the other hand, seeing Thyssenkrupp traction elevators with Aurora fixtures are very uncommon to find. And I can see why these might need another mod in the future because of the condition of those elevators.

As a result, there will be more than one upload, probably about 2-3 a day, maybe 4, but 3 is all. There’s also a fresh find of an elevator I came across yesterday right by Hobby Airport!

I was inside one of the elevator cars, and it went up to a random guest floor where people called it from, and I went down to the lowest guest floor where I began my video. Not the most smartest idea, but these elevators are beyond famous all across social media.

Nope, not at all. I would like to see one, but I’ve been way interested in the Westinghouse triangle button more than the Haughton since I’ve seen them online for the past 20+ years. Besides, they are located in certain regions of the country that I will likely not get to go anytime at all because I have no funds for that.
