I don't undersand who the fuck got the idea of redoing the cabs. Another perfect example of a stunning older cab getting replaced with a bright average new cab.

[@stfplumbingelevatorsandmore]

Yeah, the new cabs aren't it. The older cabs are so much better in terms of design.

Yet another example of fine architecture being replaced with generic crap in the name of 'staying modern', ugh

When was this filmed? I was here August 2022 and the D bank was still not on Compass but some chimes had been replaced, while the C bank had some new and some old cabs and was on compass

MAJOR downgrade for sure!

[@carselevators930]

These are epic!

Took a quick ride (one round trip) on one of the elevators here today, the new cabs are hot garbage and I'm kinda salty I never got to see the old ones. Not bad elevators overall though, this is only the second time I've seen a double decker elevator.

[@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty]

@@elevexplorer64 I seriously don’t know why they would want to replace such beautiful and intricate cabs with plane minimalistic ones.

I worked in the building for 37 years. You would have loved the shag carpet on the walls😂

[@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty]

@@markwarden3793 oh wow! What part was that in?? Haha

[@markwarden3793]

@@SPS8elevatorsoflakecountyAll of the elevators had white carpet on the walls in the early eighties . More of Berber than a shag now that I think about it.

[@mcxcdx]

With Compass. Awesome.
