This is an old, somewhat dumpy Beckwith Hydraulic Elevator, at the Fitchburg Public Library, Fitchburg, Massachusetts.
As of 7/24/2010, the City's budget is so tight, the library is only open 3 days a week, and was lucky to have time on a day it was open, to get this.
   I started the adventure on the 2'nd floor, because the 1'st floor access was literally right next to the Librarian, so obviously, there would be problems.
  The Basement is for Staff Only, yet it is unlocked, and we get to see what's down there, from within the lift.
The thing that gets me about this elevator is, that the floor indicator is what you'd expect in a Monty, but the buttons were the old GAL fixtures. Then again, Beckwith tends to use both. I found that to be odd in this case, being together like this.
