INCREDIBLE, HISTORIC 128 YEAR OLD 1896 Manually Controlled Otis Elevator in Cleveland, OH

[@SpiderCollector000]

I would love to see the rest of the elevators in this building. There is no way that this is the only one with it being 16 floors, and I am assuming it's supposed to be for freight.

[@FloridianElevators]

There's MANY elevators here. The rest of the elevators in the building are all modded though

That is AWESOME! 1896?!?! That is incredible history!!!!!!

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

Aye!! 1896 is when Escalators were first invented!!

[@FloridianElevators]

Funny enough, the first escalators ever were actually installed in Ohio too! Although they were installed at a building in Dayton, not Cleveland and sadly I think it's safe to say those escalators were removed/replaced/decommissioned a long time ago. I'm willing to bet the elevators are probably pretty cool though given how much original stuff there still is in Ohio lol

Why they ruined the gate?

Only 1900s kids will understand

1896??? NO WAYYY

[@DJG691]

Is this the oldest elevator you’ve been in?

[@FloridianElevators]

4th Oldest :]

[@FloridianElevators]

1st was at a building in Montreal (although I think that one was partially modded) and the 2nd is a tie between Tooke Brothers in Montreal & Plant Hall in Tampa. 3rd is a tie between 2 buildings in Toronto so this is actually my 4th oldest
