Formerly known as the Daniel Boone Hotel is a historic hotel located at Charleston, West Virginia. It is a Classical Revival Style ten story structure with blond brick exterior and tan, modular, stone-looking terra cotta. The building was originally constructed in 1927-29, expanded in 1936 and again in 1949 to provide a total of 465 rooms, a large ballroom and 3 parlor meeting rooms. The overall effect of the facade is to create the common early 20th Century "Skyscraper" look of "Base", two story mezzanine - "Shaft" five stories of 1/1 and 1 story of 6/6 windows - and "Capital" tenth story diamond brick and terra cotta balustrade. The building is "U"-shaped in plan. In the early-1980s the building was extensively renovated to become an office building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
Thank you for the history of the building! The 1980's renovation shows in the elevator design and the slanted glass panels, would love to know what it looked like when it first got built, kind regards, kieron
Western Cullen Hayes Safetran Gaming 78163 atrium, mezzanine, lobby, entrance . I’ve been the care taker of this building for 19 years!! Thanks for liking my building I’ve maintained for almost 20 years
That Lobby is amazing! Absolutely beautiful!
Scenic elevators are always awesome, especially in an older building like this one.
Very cool. I love the atrium and glass elevator concept.
These are really nice elevators. But here’s an updated video on them, they just got modernized recently.

My grandpa was an architect and worked on that building.

I love your classic videos
those are VERY neat elevators. nice building as well.
No wonder this looks so much like a hotel, it WAS!
Very nice place. I' like the triangular shaped elevators.
Nice Elevatorsystem, we have a smaller one on this style.
That's a great elevator system!
i like the chimes between each floor.
The Park Vista Hotel in Gatlinburg has Dovers just like those. Same shape but newer control panels.
Did they have a freight or service elevator there?
I hope there was no damage to your TX 10, Dieselducy.
that is a very nice elevator!!
I love the shape of it
