This is a dark, yet nice, ThyssenKrupp Hydraulic Elevator, in Shirley Town Hall, Shirley, Massachusetts.
This is part of a newer "Shirley Village", built on the former residence quarters of Fort Devens, on Hospital Road, which ironically, does not have a hospital on it (probably did in the Fort Devens Days).
The elevator is dark, but it's nice. It also appears to be a "green" lift, not referring to the walls. After calling it, it takes a couple seconds for it to "Wake up", and travel.
Travel is surprisingly smooth, and very gentle on starts, leveling, and stopping.
It does make a little shaft noise, but the ride is superior tro many TK lifts.
This is a nice Town Hall, and surprised to fid a Basement level. The way it sits on the ground, it doesn't look like there's basement at all.
