Glass Otis Traction Elevators at the Red Garage - Oakbrook Center - Oak Brook, IL

(November 2022) Here are three interesting Otis traction elevators in the Red Parking Garage at the Oakbrook center in Oak Brook, IL. These have a really interesting sideways style call button that I've never seen before. They also have the larger angled series 1 panels which is kind of neat.

Installed in 1991 during the renovations and additions

[@Dana_Danarosana]

Really nice. Also really unusual to have no lanterns and/or u/d chimes.

[@elevatorsofnorthernillinois]

These are the best parking garage elevators in the mall in my opinion.

[@stlelevators]

Yeah I agree

I got to film these elevators in October 2018, but was grounded not long after the recording. The video was left intact, allowing me to upload it without getting caught.

Amazing and Epic in my opinion! I love older Series 1! Very nice elevators too! Are these bottom drive or overhead drive?

[@ElevatorsInternational]

The machine room is above the top floor. The top of the elevator shafts.

[@BuildingToursForLife1660-4]

Oh ok, is it bottom drive or overhead drive? That's what I'm wondering

[@ElevatorsInternational]

@@BuildingToursForLife1660-4 I have no idea.

[@elevatorsofnorthernillinois]

[@BuildingToursForLife1660-4]
