Dieselducy and I had a small miscommunication about this one.  I thought he told me it was a traction elevator, but it's actually hydraulic.  I guess this really shows the quality of these older Otis elevators since I never even noticed it was hydraulic.  It was SO SMOOTH and quiet!!  I absolutely love the fixtures too.  

Interesting fact:  This is the only Saks Fifth Avenue in Missouri. Follow me on:
