    That’s an awesome elevator and pretty fast for a two speed. Very nice.

    I do not know what building this is but birdcage elevators are very rare in Chicago.

    This is one dandy crown jewel 113 year old birdcage elevator, still in excellent condition and working like a fine precision machine. Is it a DC motor with a rectifier and leveling field in the controller? I noticed it slows on descending to level with the landing. Seems to work akin to micro-drive. While I did not get a good look at the winding drum machine, it must have a larger drum in diameter and length for the additional hoist ropes to wrap around to reach 10 floors. Preserve this elevator.

    Donohue! I tried filming this back in July but the building was locked, any idea on their hours?

      I know somebody at this building, that is also how I filmed the service/freight elevator here. Sadly it’s locked 24/7.

      @@VintageCollections I got no clue, but I’m certain it’s a manual based on how old it is. I honestly really want to see it, because that section of the building is from the 1800s so I’m sure that elevator dates back to then as well.
