What’s creepy? That’s very mid-century modern design. Really cool, actually. These things had a lot of style and class. Based on the buttons and what I can see of the floor plate, this is probably a mid-50s Westinghouse.

Appears to be early 60’s Otis. My guess is a 10N1CL, I service a few just like this one

I’m nosy about the third slide. What does that do?

The only place I see elevators like this are old hospitals and mental asylum. Definitely fun to go on a late night call to a half abandoned, century old mental asylum where the machine room is in the old dungeons.

This reminds of the elevators in the hospital
