AWESOME 1950 Otis Traction Elevator at the Storey Hall Building on the SMU Campus in Dallas Texas
This was installed in 1950 and is still running great. It does, however, seem like it is OLDER than 1950, but the elevator records state that it was installed in 1950.
It is at a building called Storey Hall. There are people that will drive
you in a golf cart to wherever you want to go, or tell you if it is close
by. If you don't want to do that, then you can get a map of the campus at
the administration building (which might have old elevators too).
You know, I think the walls might be creamy yellow, but I'm not sure. I am
going back there in a few weeks to do some more exploring and film a
vintage Otis freight elevator :D While I'm at the campus, I will get a
retake of this and mention the color of the cab.
Now this is what I call an incredibly nice elevator, and I love that
rotating dial indicator, as well as the fixtures, motor, and cab. By the
way, what color do you think those walls were?
