RUINED General of Hartford (mod OTIS) Hydraulic Elevators | 830 Post Road East, Westport CT

Recorded 09/27/25 | ft. ‪@elevatorsofnorthernillinois‬ I was really not expecting these modded, and I have a feeling it was a couple of months after me and Vernon recorded these. These were Generals that had rare white square fixtures, something I have only seen on one other elevator in New Canaan. Sadly these have been modernized beyond recognition, and the cabs really don't blend in well with the rest of the building. The submersible motors however were kept from the Generals, which is interesting. Another thing I find interesting is how the left car has a blue colored lantern, while the right car has a white colored lantern.
