ANTIQUE 1945 Florida Hydraulic Elevator at The Arcos Building, Tampa, FL
Filmed April 2018.
Another VERY EPIC Elevator that I have to give HUGE THANKS to suejoshappy for telling me about in Tampa that despite having explored the city several times and living fairly local for several years, I cant believe I've missed it!!! It isn't quite as EPIC as the one at 518 N Tampa St. as the original Piston Pump motor was replaced on this elevator with a submersible pump unlike that one, but it is still VERY EPIC as it has it's ORIGINAL Early GAL Black Button fixtures, Ceiling, Doors and Controller which is VERY RARE to see in a State with SUCH STRICT STUPID CODES like Florida, AND It has a Glass Window!!!! Some guy was wondering what I was doing in the lobby but my mom explained what I was doing. As I've said before, I'm thinking Rotary had something to do with this install. Again, thanks to suejoshappy for telling me about this BEAUTY and that being said, enjoy!!!
