Epic Vintage Westinghouse Freight Elevator @ Hawthorn Mall - Vernon Hills, IL

(7-25-19) This was my childhood mall, and while visiting, I decided to have a look in the back and see what kind of service elevators the mall has. Turns out they have this AWESOME Westinghouse freight elevator with black buttons! Just a typical older Westinghouse elevator with lots of personality, including a super annoying door close buzzer. Love to see that my childhood mall has an epic freight elevator :)

Wasn’t really expecting the loudest, most obnoxious buzzer ever.

Love the Type-“E” fixtures.

I’m pretty sure the doors got a full replacement. These probably had older courion/security before. Nice video.

[@stlelevators]

Possibly.

Epic and amazing along with the Macys elevators. Too bad this mall has declined lately
