Показать описание
I already filmed a video of this elevator (I wasn't able to ride it then either), but I decided to check back up on it. It is still original in 2022, but still behind a locked door.

One of few known passenger elevators with manual sliding hoistway doors in a San Francisco office building. There are quite a few residential buildings that still have them I think, though they are less common than manual swing doors (which they seem to be often replaced with for some reason).

At least from the outside appears almost completely original!!! (the window in the door may have been larger in the past, that is the only possible change). Likely a birdcage gated elevator!!!

Year installed: Circa 1908!

Date of recording: October 20, 2022
