1910 Otis Traction Elevator at the Rush Rhees Library stacks

This is at U of R. This is the first elevator I've ridden with a manual door.

Very nice elevator.

This was installed around 1928. This was still the Oak Hill country club in 1910.

Unfortunately this elevator has since been modernized/replaced.

@Streetcar1743 this one is being preserved jim says they are going to keep it

[@elevatorfreak112]

@Streetcar1743 yeah they keep it because they can make money off of the tower most of that probably goes to keeping this thing going the rest to the library

@ROC Elevators Do you know there is another way to make the gate close, you press one fixture button and the gate immediately closes.
