Beautiful Glass Elevators at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History

(July 2014) These elevators are really nice. They're almost too fast- you hardly get a chance to enjoy the view before you get to your floor!
Notice the odd behavior of the indicators...

I remember riding the original elevators with pink painted cabs and pop out buttons back in the 80's.

Rode these in the past. They're fast but very uninteresting.

[@buckeyelevators]

These elevators are truly fun to ride

[@JordanLoweElevaToursCanada]

We have a northern elevator at Micmac mall and it's a roped hydraulic elevator it runs very nice I just did a retake video feel free to check it out

[@TheElevatorChannel]

Saw these while I was in DC. Didn't ride them or notice how fast they were. Wow.

[@Ih8kone]

They're rockets for sure.

Is Northern American or Canadian because I've seen more videos of Northern elevators in Canada.

[@ericsturniolo]

The floor setup here is EXTREMELY confusing. Btw, at the front door, next to the security checkpoint, there are or used to be, vintage OTIS manual controls.

[@LiamWalsheliamskitchen]

Northerns are good! Pretty reliable.

[@SamSitar]

wowser they are rockets. why is one floor missing?

[@CenTexElevators489]

Indeed, this is a Northern elevator, and how do you feel about the quality of Northern Elevators?

[@thewildeeper]

I've hardly seen any in person. Southern elevators are much more common in Virginia/North Carolina...
