Vintage Westinghouse glass elevator - Century III Mall - West Mifflin, PA

[Recorded 11/07/15]
DANGER: This mall is dangerous. Mold everywhere, structure including the roof is collapsing, and skylights are missing. DO NOT attempt to come in here, regardless of how old you are, but ESPECIALLY to teenagers thinking about coming here. No police or medical personnel will enter the building to help you if something happens. I'm not an authority figure but if you come in here you will be arrested and charged (I have not been, but others have). If you don't believe me look it up. The mall is currently prepping demolition as of 2024. Clearly this video was recorded when the mall was still open.
Just your basic Westinghouse with EPCO CL that's kind of slow.
Installed 1979

Even if this place is technically still “operating”, this elevator isn’t :(.

That elevator will be gone soon because this mall sucks.

[@EWPA14]

Again, that’s kinda sad to me as my Grandfather built part of the mall. I’m not sure if this elevator’ll be removed soon, but it may @ some point.

YOU SERIOUS? WOW. THAT'S AMAZING!!!!

[@EWPA14]

I know, it’s pretty cool that my own grandfather was a construction worker! He also built parts of the Steel Tower, & the ride that was before Test Track @ EPCOT @ Disney Buena Vista!
