Awesome Otis Series 1 Hydraulic Elevator @ 257 E Main - Barrington, IL

(6-29-18) This is an awesome elevator. First, it is an older series one which is awesome. On top of that, it has green buttons (I've never seen that before), and a neat floor indicator in the garage.

Very nice elevator for an 80's Otis Series-1 elevator, and those green buttons sure give the illusion of Otis trying to copy Montgomery Vector.

That is in good condition for an outdoor elevator having to deal with all of the cold snow and high temperatures!

[@stlelevators]

It is!

I've only seen the green buttons on elevators twice before. Love the old old S1 chime

Nice older 80's series 1 which by the way is why you have the awesome colored buttons see you in 2021 buddy :)

Nice find! I've passed by this building many times, but didn't know there was an elevator placed in that secluded space.

[@brandonmiller6629]

Not a bad older Otis Series 1. Can't wait for you to find one with a digital red indicator. Those are the RAREST.

[@stlelevators]

I've been on one with red.

[@brandonmiller6629]

Where? Was it analog or digital?

[@BCsVators]

Nice find! Imagine if this elevator was completely green.

Definitely an awesome Friday the 13th upload!

1:27. This elevator could've easily been made glass. Filechia's famous line.

First time I've seen series 1 buttons have green leds!

[@stlelevators]

Same here!

[@that_green_neko]

Not often do buildings want to use the color that matches the rest of the elevator... That's pretty sweet.

[@stlelevators]

I doubt that was the case here, but who knows.

[@asphaltandtacos]

Sweet elevator!

[@stlelevators]

Yeah it is! I love the green LEDs

[@blueauraretriever]

This is a cool lift

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

Awesome, what would really top this off is if the call buttons lit up green too...still awesome as is tho!

[@drummerboy2215]

Yale New Haven Children's Hospital New Haven CT had Series 1 Elevators that lighted green.

[@stlelevators]

Neat

[@BluepuptweetElevators]

a dropped ceiling in a parking garage, really? other than that the elevator is in good condition for its age

[@nicksantomauro2647]

This elevator with an older Series 1, these buttons are green.

[@pepsicolachao4537]

The high pitched elevator direction chime... weird!

[@stlelevators]

That's the older chime found on this type of elevator.

[@attipekkajames]
