My Dad's office building had this style. I thought they were amazing when I was a kid.

This is one of the only buildings I know with an amazing orginal elevator system like this. It's truly fascinating. I live for old fascinating machinery like this. Could never compare to the new stuff in coolness.

@@QEElevators They have changed them recently, it was the 700 building in Richmond.

@@hattreeThat's such a shame..

[@hattree]

@@QEElevators There is a video on the web of them before they were taken out.

@@hattree Your dad worked there? Now it's a hotel with Gen2's and compass. A shamefull mod, they should've kept the orginal machines imo.

How did you get into the machine room? Because this seems a little suspicious that you get into almost every machine room.

[@QEElevators]

The door was just open. I've been here before and it was open then too. Just unlocked.

[@QEElevators]

Next time I come back here, I'm going to attempt to get a way more detailed video.
