TINY & EPIC Montgomery Traction Elevator @ The Soldiers & Sailors Monument - Indianapolis, IN

(5-18-19) This is the elevator to the observation deck of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument. The monument is 284 ft (86.72m) tall, and has a tiny elevator that goes up to the top. You can walk up the steps for free or pay a very small fee to ride the elevator. This is probably one of the more unique elevators I have seen.
The elevator itself is in the center of the monument, with the stairs surrounding it. The shaft is open, so you can see the elevator moving within it. It is a bottom drive traction, and you can see the pulleys and governor at the top.
The elevator car is probably the smallest elevator I have ever seen. It has a very nice cab and two tiny car panels with Adams fixtures. Once you get to the top, you have to walk up a few more stairs to get to the overlook where you get a great view of downtown!
