I really don't care if anyone sees my medical records. Have at it! Nothing of any interest, lol!

I'm not sure exactly, but given the age of the building it's quite likely that Otis was the manufacturer.

is that a otis elevator

A very cute interesting little lamp; the rim should be shiny.

This is what my bed looks like when I realize it's time to change the sheets!

Do the buttons work?

Does it work?

I love Abandend places and i like the pics you take and you do a great job. Is that seat taking

At first I thought you were kidding...holy cow...dodging activity is no small thing for any urbexer short of an expert - which you apparently are!

@ Grumpy - Great story, prolly funnier for me than you, and even funnier that the Dukane survived your, ah, amateur wiring attempt.

@ Guitorman - I heard about a lab that had to move heavy containers of anything dangerous by putting it in the elevator, getting out, and having someone downstairs push the call button.

There was literally no other way to move anything you couldn't carry besides the stairs. And lugging, say, a big container of liquid nitrogen down a set of stairs is akin to playing Russian Roulette with a shotgun.

That they left records behind is a disgrace and that they left TB cultures is terrifying. You could literally wreak bio-terror by skulking through old hospitals and picking up samples of stuff that some idiot didn't incinerate.

The panels remind me of fire hose boxes. The hose is folded over a hanger and attached to the feed so all you had to do was grab the hose and turn it on. But it could be a dumb waiter or interior windows...

It looks like a fire hose box.

A hospital in Portland was closed back in the 50's or 60's. My father has a rare blood disorder. The medical personal have retrieved all the records for my fathers disorder except the ones in this hospital. The main record they need is the ones which were destroyed. The records destroyed were my fathers origins of his disease. Know there is no way to be able to replicate this. There shouldl be no time frame to destroy the records.
