AMAZING 1961 Otis Black Button Traction Elevators at The Radio Building (High Point, NC)

After seeing Sirens and Elevators & Elevating North Carolina's videos about these elevators, you knew damn well I had to come see them myself!

These are some amazing Old Otis Tractions with a lot of character, from the Cab Shape to the amazing working Roto Dials on the Call Panels. These run great too and are fun to ride! Sadly, the right car was Out of Order for some repair issues at the time, but these are a must see for anyone that comes down here!
