I don't know if they still do it, but about fifteen years ago, my cousin's cub scout group got to spend the night in the lobby of the museum around the pendulum and I was invited to join. It was really neat, but I remember I tossed and turned practically the whole night lol.

OMG! That service elevator is a chungus! And Those are some nice Dewhurst fixtures, and epic motor on the old Virginia elevator!

[@TechNerdNolan]

This is the best use of an old building.

[@jonathancreveling5658]

It's nice to see old buildings like this put to use in new ways

[@DieselDucy]

I love it

[@thewildeeper]

Thanks for filming these! I rode them many times growing up. The glass Otis elevators were installed around the year 2000. Prior to that, there weren't exhibits on the 2nd floor and there was just empty space where the two glass elevators are now. As a little Jeffy that Virginia service elevator was really big and intimidating, it doesn't seem quite so big now.

[@DieselDucy]

Glad it brought back memories :)

[@ericshook9270]

That's awesome!

[@ElyseHorvath]

[@statecollegewx4060]

This place is awesome

[@thefrenchelevatorchannel]

4:17 not almost every elevator in Europe has Dewhurst... actually you don't find that much Dewhurst in France or Switzerland for example.

[@AlecRoth-id8fp]

Interesting cop on the third elevator!

[@somebody6712]

[@racheljohnson157]

In the back on the 1st floor they have a newer Schindler elevator in the middle between the glass elevators

[@DieselDucy]

There is a new schindler there. I will post it soon.

[@SamSitar]

epco fixtures look great there.

[@NyxKemo]

Dupar is the brand that makes dewhurst

[@racheljohnson157]

The B braille was replaced with a 0 braille

[@DieselDucy]

It looks that way

[@racheljohnson157]

When you said the capacity of the service elevator did you say 8000 or 80’000

[@DieselDucy]

8000

[@wryt19]

Wow I’m early

[@catholicelevators]

[@DieselDucy]

[@soundvolsehgs]

[@you-tube3203]

Hbn.z

[@DylanLTindall]

Dewhurst can be a terrible if it modernizes an vintage elevator
