This is an older Otis Series-1 Hydraulic Elevator, in the Lincoln Medical Center, next door to, but not part of, the Metro West Medical Center, Framingham, Massachusetts.
This is an old school building, converted into a medical center sometime in the early 80's, as all the old doors and windows were replaced with 1-piece glass windows, giving away the era of renovation, without even having to look at the elevator. It also was expanded upon, doubling it's size, as the atrium is beautiful, where old and "new" construction are joined here.
The elevator itself needs a lot of help. It's falling apart, and it is rough, especially starting and stopping (valve timings on the later).
We're treated to a rare upside-down phone box installation, with no phone.
This thing is showing it's age.
