Beautiful elevator. Looks like it's very well preserved and taken care of. A real treasure for any elevator enthusiast visiting Minneapolis.

A beautiful film.

Aaaaaaaaaaand... it's gone!! Have you also replaced the artwork with printouts of emojis?!

[@buds8423]

I would have visited to see this elevator. However. As an elevator’s purpose is to allow people who cannot use stairs to independently go from floor to floor and this one would require an assistant, I understand the need for replacement. Too bad Otis could not have helped fund a was of saving the beauty while restoring it to modern function. Hope it went to a museum…

[@Jowevator3219]

Thanks for destroying this beautiful gem...

[@Brianvators]

We we’re really hoped that it was still original of the vintage OTIS Elevator as of today but no, you’ve obviously ruined or trashed a whole thing for a brand new OTIS Gen2 Elevator. You should have preserved it for a display show but now it’s too late.

Yeah, i never got to comment on this after I heard the news it was replaced. You guys are an art museum (probably the best in the upper Midwest), and yet you committed an act of civic vandalism for putting a dull, lifeless modern elevator in its place. It's like the Metropolitan building all over again and for that I probably won't be visiting again.

Why do a document on something old, then rip it out and replace it with something modern? Stupid and dumb!

[@railroadelevators9258]

If this elevator was just modernized with an Otis M2, but much of the original character was kept, I would be happy about that. but NOPE!

Why the heck did you guys totally replace this thing with a piece of garbage?
