More than a half century ago, one of my 1st office jobs was in this very building and using this very elevator. Brought back memories even though the elevator was in near unrecognizable condition now. As a young kid I recall how unique the experience of this ride given me everyday by and older well uniformed gentleman operating it. It was a luxurious elevator back then, as unique and classy as could be. Though happy to see it again, I was so saddened by its condition. So wish you could have seen it in its hey-day (anyone got any super 8 film or photos?) .Also comes to mind the one rickety old vintage escalator on T.O.'s Queen street near Yonge in the Department store there (Simpsons across from the old Eatons with the Christmas display windows); and the vintage phone booths at a CNE building with wooden seat, lights, shelf/table... such a comfortable booth. Vintage back then when a young lad, such beauty they were.
What's interesting is that some older Turnbull elevators are actually Westinghouse in disguise. Yep...Turnbull was at one time a distributor for Westinghouse elevators. Don't believe me? See here... th-cam.com/video/laUU27DvN54/w-d-xo.html

I was in this building yesterday and had a ride to the 5th floor and back. It still works great.
