This is the Otis Series 1 Hydraulic Elevator, in the West portion of Putnam Place, Fitchburg, Massachusetts. This facility used to be part of the General Electric Turbine Plant, which closed in the early 1990's. It was restored, and given a modern facelift, to be the office park it is today. The elevator itself was not as smooth as the East Elevator, but it still rode better than most Series 1 lifts I've been in. Some minor shaking and vibration hinders what could have been a perfect elevator.
