- This is the Montgomery Kone hydraulic elevator at the JCPenney store in the Maplewood Mall in Maplewood, Minnesota. I assume the brand is Montgomery Kone because the escalators are, even though there is no faceplate in the elevator itself. This elevator is interesting because it is glass (scenic), yet the outer walls have been painted over! I think this used to be a Mervyn's California store a long time ago, as they typically had elevators like this with enter only and exit only doors.

Identical to Eden Prairie Center.
That was a Mervyn's during their unsuccessful venture outside California that ultimately was their demise.
Dana Danarosana Yeah, I remember every one of those stores had an elevator like this. I never visited this particular location as a Mervyn's, but I remember the other ones...Burnsville, Southdale, etc. Actually, Southdale was a little different in that it was actually three stories.
Northland Elevators I was only in the Rosedale one... and that bldg. was demolished for the movie theaters... but I was in an older style Mervyn's at the Glendale Galleria (Glendale, CA) several times when I was a little kid. That store's elevators weren't like this...
Ah, I guess I was mistaken then, but I do remember many of the Mervyn's I used to visit in the Cities did have this kind of elevator.
Northland Elevators I'm sure all the newer stores were like that. I was at the Glendale Galleria store back in the late 70's/early 80's... I'm a little foggy but I'm thinkin' the ONLY glass elevators I'd seen by that point were the Westin Bonaventure downtown Los Angeles, the Hyatt in San Francisco, and the Las Vegas Hilton's former awesome 29-story Space Ship US exterior glass elevator which, sadly, was torn down and replaced by the much tamer Otis series 2 interior elevator with windows in the early 90's. Department stores certainly didn't have glass elevators back then... as far as I know.
Just like a Target elevator with enter only and exit only doors.
Just like a Target elevator.
Man what a rip-off! The cab is glass but the shaft is enclosed!
