WEIRD Modded 1977 Westinghouse Traction Elevators At Hyatt Regency Executive Tower In Rosemont, IL
(08/06/2024)
These are some very strange elevators. These were installed as part of an addition. The Executive Tower is another tower that was built to make the Hyatt Regency bigger. This tower has less character than the main, but it is still pretty interesting. They decided to go with Westinghouse for these ones. These were installed in 1977 and were modernized by Schindler in 2010/11. It would have been cool to see these original but unfortunately these have long been modernized. The service elevators (which I didn’t film or check out) were also modernized by Schindler. On the first floor, there is an original Westinghouse call button about 40 feet away from the elevators which was very strange. What is even more strange is that the elevator lobby on the ground floor has skylights and you can see the concrete elevator shafts. These are still some pretty cool elevators.

INCREDIBLE Modernized 1971 Otis Traction Elevators At The Hyatt Regency In Rosemont, IL
Переглядів 883Місяць тому
(08/06/2024) I’ve been waiting for a long time to film these elevators and now I have a chance to do so. These elevators were very fun to ride and each car has their own character to them. One car has a different floor pass pitch while another car goes a bit faster. These elevators used to have Lexan buttons I believe. The cabs used to look like the ones at the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta but the ...

This video was originally supposed to be a demonstration of the Schindler ElevateMe app, but the app didn’t support these elevators. I decided to film a regular video of these. These elevators are really basic and nothing special. I was hoping to find a Schindler 5500 or 3300 XL but nope just a standard Schindler 3300.

    Nice - you managed to get to the upper level on the D Gates concourse! I noticed these last year but was downstairs (there’s an identical set directly underneath) but to go up here you had to pass an additional checkpoint depending on where you were flying. Also, there are 6x more in the A-Gates area (I have already uploaded these just around a month ago). 👍

    unfortunately you're never gonna see these types of hotels with 5500s, they're one of the more expensive MRLs on the market. which sucks, because the quality gap between 5500s and 3300s is insanely huge, but the 5500s are marketed as commercial and the 3300s really aren't. 7+ floors is when you start seeing better models

    Thanks for filming Stratford Square Mall for the last time before its closure this past Sunday, 4-21-24. I was really sad to see all these videos on the mall prior to its closure even as far back as 2020. I’ve been watching dead mall videos since end of last year. This mall had an emotional impact on me because I appreciate beautiful work of art like the architectural design of this mall. I love the aesthetics!! This is by far one of the most breathtaking, beautifully designed, aesthetically appealing malls I’ve ever seen on the internet. I’m not from the Chicago area but one does not need to be to appreciate beautiful work of art. The wood paneled ceilings, the glass skylights on the ceilings, wooden columns, the pillars resembling trees, mushroom like features on pillars, and the other beautiful wood work throughout the architecture. I’m hoping there is an active effort to try to preserve the architecture & aesthetics of the mall for the planned redevelopment. I’m praying that they can save the architecture for historical & architectural significance. Why not revitalize the mall rather than demolish it? It can be repurposed like some other dead malls. These malls ended up with successful outcomes like turning the malls into community colleges, community centers, a mini community inside the building. A museum for storing local art work from the Chicago area, a theater for fine arts, medical offices, commercial offices, retail, restaurants, indoor park & recreation such as indoor pools, ice skating rinks, gyms, a bank, an events center. Could even try to bring back the Century Theater, Round 1, add a day care center, a library. People can come up with visionary ideas to try to revitalize this mall instead of demolishing it. To demolish it would be a disservice to Stratford Square Mall and the community. Stratford Square Mall deserves better. The community deserves better than to take away the little bit of history they have. This mall served the community in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s in its better days. Why give up on it? I’m a bit relieved that there is an active effort to save Stratford Square Mall on Facebook. It’s open to the public to see. Thank you for preserving a part of history at a time when most of us who lived through the 80s, 90s, early 2000s have cherished these memories of hanging out at the malls. Thank you, You are doing a service to you community. I said enough.
