OTIS Black Button Traction Elevator - Macy's, Coddingtown Center - Santa Rosa, CA

[Recorded 12-29-21] Here's a neat OTIS elevator at Macy's. This store opened as The Emporium and this elevator is basically original from 1962 aside from a fixture replacement. This thing still runs as any old OTIS would and it has a lot of character. The Adams chime is funny. Really cool elevator, and a really nice store too!

The Adams chime is doing a psuedo throwback to those "secret codes" that all department stores did through the 50s, 60s, 70s, and even into the 80s.

Looks like there used to be a second elevator next to this one judging by the location of the call station.

[@Jowevator3219]

Nope it was always just one

[@SixSilverStones]

Wow this is an epic elevator

The store opened in 1966, but the elevator was manufactured in 1962?

[@baelevatorsmore728]

It’s possible. Especially if there was something here before or if the elevator was installed during the construction phase (which could’ve taken a few years.)

@@baelevatorsmore728 1962 was the opening date of the mall at least.

[@Jowevator3219]

@@tvtimetravel You're confused. 1996 is just when Macy's moved into this building. This was built in 1992 and was formerly The Emporium, as stated in the description
