Tasteful GAL Modded 1950 Otis Traction Elevator at Foundation Place (Greensboro, NC)

This elevator is not original to the 1924 Building. This was added on in 1950 and used to be an Otis Black Button. Sadly, it got modded by some company (maybe Southern due to the Modded Fixtures), but I do say it's mostly tasteful. This got a GAL JetPlus Mod with the Square Variant of the Buttons. The Machinery and Motor sound mostly original to me, so this may just be a Slap On. The GAL Lanterns strangely have LED's and a Dover Chime, which is a weird adjustment they made later. The Exterior Indicators are original.

This elevator runs fine. I like how weird and quirky the cab is shaped.
