This is the original Man-Powered Elevator, from the original 1923 construction, at Leominster Hospital, Leominster, Massachusetts.
Question is, I THINK it's an Otis, not sure. I know Westinghouse was tinkering with MPE technology, before going full-fledged with their mechanical counterparts.
 Anyhow, this MPE could use a little TLC, although it's nowhere near as bad as that Mold-Infested Payne at Burbank Hospital (Fitchburg, Mass).
  The ride itself is fairly fast, smooth, and it's fairly nice to look at. It used to be Scenic, but the windows were bricked and boarded over, as additions and building mods happened over the years.
