I remember the day we shot this footage. Probably one of the most interesting story shoots I have ever worked on while working in TV News. Hopefully they keep the original Hall Lanterns, the same as the ones in the Empire State Building.
well I hope I get more opportunities like this. I really enjoy dealing with reporters because they all tell me that it's one of the funnest stories they worked on. you are also one of the funnest reporters I've ever worked with
Before it was condos I was obsessed with this building. I have lived in RVA for 40 years. I was lucky enough to go to a weird art exhibition there and take some pictures. I used to tell myself that I want to die in this building, lol, now I can’t afford to. There is a lot of cool things about this place! The CNB neon sign would tell you the weather and the running joke of building it was that it finally was built just in time for the bankers to jump off it when the recession hit. I love the old vault room and the passenger elevators. I’m sure it’s different now though.

I meant depression. “When the depression hit”
Amazing building!!
Love the motor sound on the fraco construction elevator! Almost sounds like an jet or vacuum. Nice old building too! 😀
I like the fixtures in first one, almost like the Dover Black Buttons. Cool machinery!
Diet coke!!!! What?
We've seen the construction elevator before, but the rest of the building looks amazing! Thanks for this exclusive tour DD.
+thewildeeper It was alot of fun :)
+DieselDucy watching your tour was fun too.
I really appreciate it. my son loves this video.
I like you video for years
Happy Easter 2022 ! :-)
Thanks
What camra are you using.
CBS was really with you?!
Can you make A Revisit to see what’s Like Now?
Wow, 77 amps at 240 volts to run that motor... That would surely knock your socks off, if it weren't properly grounded :)
You didn't put your Facebook, website, Google+, Flickr, or Twitter thing
I will when I get to my computer :) I'll also fix the outtros as well
Is it just me, or does your camera drop frames in low light conditions?
+JoshCraver9000 this was on an older camera. the camera switches to 30FPS in lower light also, final cut and AVCHD dont mix well :(
I hope a Generic company is behind the modernizing and upgrading of those awesome elevators :)
+Specialty Elevators and UEE's by Technicalboy3000 Genric is crap.
Awesome!
HAS PEPSI 1 GONE OUT OF BUSSINESS?
try to get old parts, including fire alarms
What year was this built?
not sure. 1920s?
brave...!!!
Can anyone know the the song called
Are the elevators here being modernized?
+Floridian Elevators I would think so
ElevatorMan5482 ElevExperiencing Productions Let's hope not!!! But, I was talking to *****
+Floridian Elevators probably :(
will the first elevator run?
I think it is being ripped out
+DieselDucy that sucks
+DieselDucy what about the other 2 main elevators?
+josh gardner everything here is probably being modded. I'd rather see that than the building sit vacant.
Are you getting parts?
Or dieselducy
