The home of Franklin D. Rooservelt.
The Lovely Lisa and I spent our Valentines holiday at the Rooservelt Estate. (a national historic site) The birth place, life long family home and final resting place of the 32nd President of the United States Frankling D. Rooservelt. In small modest manor nestled on the Hudson River the Rooservelt family make a name for themselves amongst the mansions of the worlds elite. With neighbors like the Vanderbilt's the Rooservelt family manor is dwarfed by the mansions of Old Money along the Hudson River. The President and his family entertained an endless list of Monarchs and diplomats. To be a fly on these walls, to have heard the back room deals that took place. Among the most notable of events to take place at the manor is the a private conversation between F.D.R. and U.K. Prime Minister Winston Churchill, in which the UK and US atomic programs were merge under the Manhatten Project. The conversation took place in a private room FDR had taken for himself in the sevants quarters with the intent to have a place to collect his thoughts in private.Lucky for us that British Bulldog sniffed him out there on that fateful day. The president would often address the nation from here in his 'fireside chats (which was beautiful BTW) a tradition carried over from his Governership in NY. The history of this area and this location in particular and people involved there is much too rich for me to properly report on. Also on the grounds is the 1st Presidential Library. Rooservelt was the only President to use a presidential library as commander and chief.We ended the day with a moment of silence, reflection and prayer at the grave of the 32nd President of the United States of America Franklin D. Rooservelt. I lost myself in thought and emotion for several minutes at the grave site it was most humbling.

Montgomery Bottom Drive Traction Elevator - FDR Presidential Library & Museum - Hyde Park, NY
(Rec. May 2016). Believe it or not, today is the 75th anniversary of this library's opening. This is pretty significant, as this is not only the anniversary of the opening of the library, but it is the first Presidential Library as well. I held off uploading this video to commemorate this. I know...it's a tacky way to commemorate this, but I have interests in both subjects.
This elevator appears to be quite identical to the other Montgomery in the building, from the interior, fixtures, the panel layout, indicator, even the floor passing beep. However, there's actually some differences. This elevator is only half the size of the other one, and has a square shape. Furthermore, it's a bottom drive traction. Though I don't look up the shaft in the video, you can tell by the motor's sounds; it sounds the same going both directions. Additionally, I could hear the motor pretty clearly on G. This leads me to think this COULD very well be an original elevator to the building, despite the heavy mods done in the 1990's. Definitely seems older than the last one I showed. Again for simplicity purposes, I will simply state that this elevator is a Montgomery.
The fact it's traction is a seemingly obvious clue to the age; at the time this building was built, not many hydraulic elevators existed...if any at all. Furthermore, take a look at the door tracks; they definitely seem older ones. Another clue is the dual speed door here in a seemingly normal sized cab; definitely seems like a feature on older elevators. If anything, the cab was probably replaced; I cannot seem to get an ID on an original manufacturer by either the door track, or via any floorplates (most likely, it was installed by OTIS, or some other local company).
Additionally, this elevator is in the original portion of the building, which was built in 1940. This particular elevator is mostly intended to take guests up from G to *1. The other two floors are locked off as they're archives, and not generally accessible to the public. As such, I don't even bother trying.
LOCATION INFO:
Situated on the same property as Springwood, FDR's home in Hyde Park, this is in fact the original Presidential Library built in 1940 to preserve FDR's history. The library opened on June 30, 1941. A museum was built within the building to attract visitors to the library. An expansion was made in 1972, to house not only more archives, but serves as an expansion of the museum as well. The museum serves today to tell the story of Frankin D. Roosevelt's presidency. It is one of two presidential museums and libraries in the Northeastern United States, the other one being the JFK Presidential Library in Boston. This is an interesting museum to tour through that details Roosevelt's presidency. I highly recommend it, (not just for the elevator)!

Montgomery Dry-Powered Hydraulic Elevator - FDR Presidential Library & Museum - Hyde Park, NY
(Rec. May 2016) Believe it or not, NewEnglandElevators has filmed an elevator outside of New England for once! It's not the first time I've done so, but the first time I've done since the creation of this particular channel. Additionally, it's my first video from the Hudson Valley. Besides that, this is a pretty cool elevator to share not only commemorate the 23rd anniversary of elevator photography as a whole, but to commemorate my 8th year of filming elevators. Starting on this very date in 2008 (June 14th), I have been filming elevators ever since.
Here is a Montgomery Hydraulic elevator that happens to be within the museum portion of the building, bringing people down a level to more exhibits below. Where this elevator is located within the indicates that this is joining an expansion together by serving not only the basement level (G), but an M level, which is the basement of the original building. That is simply a few steps above the G level. I believe this expansion was added in 1972, according to a plaque on this side of the building on the outside. The original building was built in 1940. That, too has an elevator that I will share at some point.
Though this elevator may appear to be hospital sized (deep), it only has a 2500lbs capacity. Furthermore, it appears too narrow be hospital sized, too. I believe it's designed this way not only to join the two sides of the building by elevator access, but to also bring down archival material on occasion.
The elevator itself seems to run fine. It comes with a farily nice sounding dry powered motor, but it cannot completely be heard over the fan. You can still hear it if you listen closely enough. I do not know for sure when this elevator was added, most likely when the expansion was put in. The original installer, I cannot seem to figure out, either. If the elevator was installed in 1972, it was modded by either Montgomery or Montgomery/KONE in the 1990's (forgot to check the interlocks, do'h). It's easy to think this was simply Innovated. The Vector era beep is a dead giveaway, though. Although either company would have used similar parts and fixtures, etc; to keep things simple, I'm putting Montgomery down here. If you want to hear the motor a little better, you can check out this video from aceee06.
