A Scenic Manual Westinghouse Freight Elevator - Cleveland, OH

(3-17-22) This is one of the cooler vintage manual elevators I have ridden. This is an original 1950s Westinghouse freight elevator that just so happens to be glass! This elevator has an AMAZING view from the top floor!
Also, if you watch to the very end of the video you might notice another elevator. Sadly, that elevator does not work anymore and it would have been totally epic to ride.

WHOA! Now this is a REAL Manually Controlled!

[@stlelevators]

[@cameraking1237]

That elevator is amazing!

[@stlelevators]

Yes!

[@HaileyJohn12]

Epic vintage manual control elevator. I wish I could experience one myself.

[@stlelevators]

They can be annoying to film when you have to run them yourself.

[@EliT347]

Cleveland's got some oldie gems. This is an EPIC elevator.

[@stlelevators]

Really good video of a vintage Westinghouse Freight Elevator. Keep up the great work..

We Should Meet Up Tomorrow At Mid Rivers Mall

I love these old freight elevators with windows throughout the shaft. That's the most amazing view I've seen on an antique elevator though! Still surprised this place hasn't closed for redevelopment yet. I hope this stays. And I feel this is older than 50s. Car-switch looks more 20s-maybe 30s.

[@stlelevators]

I hope it stays around for a while!

[@upanddownadventures]

Are there plans to renovate this building?

[@EWPA14]

@@upanddownadventures Yes. There have been plans for a while but as of now they haven't happened yet. I believe Jason & Jared talked with the guy in this video & he told them there were mod. plans, at least for the passengers.

It's one of the coolest vintage manuals I've seen!

[@metroelevators4619]

Cool find

[@stlelevators]

We really wanted to see this too, so I'm super happy the guy there took us on a ride!

[@mariokart8715]

Somebody left a coat hanging in the cab.

Quite an interesting fright elevator with front/rear gates and the scenic view opposite the landings 1-17. Curious about the counterweight frame on the face of the brick wall, below the 1st floor landing. Was it for the out of service/no longer operating elevator? I would expect to see the counterweight frame with the front/rear doors to be on the side or corner of the shaft wall.

[@stlelevators]

Are you talking about the one in the basement? That one doesn't work.

[@TheTheo58]

@@stlelevators Yes, the elevator cab in the basement, which was no longer operational. I took another look at the video as the cab descended to the basement, past the 1st floor the counterweight frame w/the weights intact, no ropes. Which I presumed to be part of the non functioning elevator.

Scenic freight elevator? 🤯

[@stlelevators]

Yep!

[@VintageCollections]

What is the location of this, or is that going to remain undisclosed? I’d love to ride this when I’m in Cleveland tomorrow!

[@stlelevators]

If the location is not in the title or description, it will remain undisclosed.

[@LittleRockElevators]

That's neat. I wish that other elevator was in operation ☹️

[@stlelevators]

I do too. That would have been so cool.

[@neohelevators]

I rode this a few days ago! Did u see the old Warner that didn’t work?

[@stlelevators]

Did someone take you on it? We did see it.

[@thehanddryerchannel]

Someone took us on the Westy but not the Warner. I forgot the guy’s name but he was nice. The abandoned vaults were also pretty cool!
