Although the entrance on street level is made of glass, this elevator features a completely non-glass cab. As a result, the ride is not all that interesting. However, as the mechanism is visible on street level, it is possible to look at the cab and counterweight. The motor can not be seen as it is located at the bottom of the shaft.
