Added by Mr. Taylor

To add to the information below. Drexel renovated the building in 1989 after purchasing a few years before. The three existing elevators were renovated and a fourth elevator added. All of the elevators were renovated by Dover. In a renovation some components of the original elevator are kept and some are replaced. The replacement components which usually include the car operator panels and door operators, and often the lifting machinery will usually be by other manufacturers than the original installing company.
