Built in the 19th century, the entrance area of the PFL is fairly interesting, also featuring pillars. In the newer, rear part of the building, there is an elevator that serves a conference and convention room that has a tier above its main level and is thus two floors tall (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU3Ju_4gyng). This elevator is located in the older front part and was added in the early 90s. It is nothing special, and I usually would not have bothered to film it, but there is something weird about it. Namely, the elevator is deeply recessed, as can be seen on the upper level. On ground level, an extra door has been added in order to hide the recess. It opens and closes together with the elevator door and almost makes it look like there are two cabs right behind each other. Also, the cab has got two entrances on opposite sides, increasing the effect. Technical specifications: Brand: Osma Capacity: 610kg / ~1345lbs / 8 people Type: hydraulic Year built: 1991 Travel distance: 4 floors
