Since the Pre-Door on this Otis Lexan Hydraulic Elevator was epic, I decided to come back and do another take, at 435 Main Street, Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Funny thing about this lift is, it's a 3-story ride, but the building is 5 stories tall (???). Makes me wonder if there originally was no elevator, since the building is old enough where 5-story buildings normally didn't have one installed. (5 stories was considered maximum "comfortable distance".) This rides very well, and the Pre-Door is what makes this lift another Must-Ride for the local Elevator Geeks. The best episode is when it comes to meet the 1'st floor. We make sure we get good views of that, as well as the shaft.
