Non ADA 1983/1984 Otis Series 1 Hydraulic Elevators @ 7301 Carmel Executive Park (Charlotte NC)

While it's common to see an Older Series 1 once in a while, how about a SUPER EARLY one? In this case, a set that isn't ADA Compliant. These are some interestingly charming elevators, and not something you see everyday. The Up/Down Chimes are disabled, so it's hard to say if they had the Typical 80's Style "Airplane" Chime or the rare but annoying High Pitch "Ding" Chime.

This is the last building I got of the 6. I skipped the last building, which had a former Otis Series 1, because it got a terrible ThyssenKrapp Slop On.
