ORIGINAL Vintage Otis Bottom Drive Traction Elevator - WCU Belk Engineering Building (Cullowhee, NC)

Here is, what looks like, the oldest elevator on campus that HASN'T BEEN MODDED or completely replaced. It is an Otis Bottom Drive Traction elevator with Otis Black Button fixtures from 1971. Never seen a Black Button this late! The cab is beaten up and it runs really rough, but hey, at least it is original. (for now)
