Another Westinghouse Mod by Montgomery Traction Elevator, War Memorial Opera House, San Francisco CA
Innovation Universal fixtures. The original car switch is still present. The car switch still can be turned, but it is no longer does anything. There is a newer annunciator panel. It is still used when the elevator is in attendant service (the elevator will not respond to hall calls automatically when it is in attendant service). The elevator operator was very nice. I also saw a service elevator through a door, but I didn't film it, and it also appeared to be modernized (it had a digital hall indicator).
Year installed: Circa 1932
Year modernized: Circa early 1990s-1994
San Francisco City hall CA
San Francisco City Hall, re-opened in 1915, in its open space area in the city's Civic Center, is a Beaux-Arts monument to the City Beautiful movement that epitomized the high-minded American Renaissance of the 1880s to 1917. The structure's dome is the fifth largest in the world.[5][6] The present building replaced an earlier City Hall that was destroyed during the 1906 earthquake, which was 2 blocks from the present one. It was bounded by Larkin Street, McAllister Street, and City Hall Avenue (a street, now built over, which ran from the corner of Grove and Larkin to the corner of McAllister and Leavenworth), largely where the current Public Library and U.N. Plaza stand today.
The principal architect was Arthur Brown, Jr., of Bakewell & Brown, whose attention to the finishing details extended to the doorknobs and the typeface to be used in signage. Brown's blueprints of the building are preserved at the Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley. Brown also designed the San Francisco War Memorial Opera House, Veterans Building, Temple Emanuel, Coit Tower and the Federal office building at 50 United Nations Plaza... Wikipedia

Mayor Lee Dedicates San Francisco Veterans Memorial
Today, Mayor Edwin M. Lee joined former Secretary of State George P. Shultz, former Mayor Willie L. Brown, Jr., and United States Senator Dianne Feinstein for a Public Dedication Ceremony in Memorial Court for the San Francisco Veterans Memorial. Located between the War Memorial Opera House and Veterans Building, the site was always intended to have a memorial to those who have served our nation in uniform.
The San Francisco Veterans Memorial Project, designed by artist Susan Narduli, fulfills the mission and original 1920s vision for the San Francisco War Memorial Complex. The Memorial Court site contains soils from battlefields around the world where Americans have fought for their country. The San Francisco Veterans Memorial Project fulfills San Francisco's 80-year promise to honor the service and sacrifice of our nation's military veterans.
The Narduli/Cochran design, entitled Passage of Remembrance, is a breathtaking series of reflection pools circumscribed by an octagon of basalt stone. Seen from above, the pools form a circle of gently flowing water that glides over polished stone in sloping planes from the street to the garden below. The interplay between the circle and the octagon is meant to symbolize the merging of heaven and eternity (circle) and earth (octagon). A walkway floats above the water and takes visitors through the memorial. The west wall of the walkway is inscribed with a poem by World War I veteran Archibald MacLeish titled “The Young Dead Soldiers.” Archibald MacLeish served as an artillery officer in World War I. During the Second World War, he was Librarian of Congress. When the Library of Congress held a memorial service for staff members who had died in the war, MacLeish contributed this poem.
About the San Francisco Veterans Memorial Project
The San Francisco Veterans Memorial Project is headed by former Secretary of State George P. Shultz and former Secretary of Defense William J. Perry, who co-chair the Veterans Memorial Steering Committee, which raised private funds for the design, installation and maintenance of the Veterans Memorial. The original 1920’s plans for the War Memorial Complex called for a veterans’ memorial in the Memorial Court, the landscaped area between the War Memorial Opera House and Veterans Building.
Following the Project “kick-off” in April 2010, the San Francisco Arts Commission was engaged to conduct a nationwide search for artist design teams. Over 120 artists responded to the “Call to Artists,” and in November 2010, three finalist design teams were selected to prepare design proposals. Final design team proposals were submitted in June 2011, and following public display, the War Memorial Board of Trustees endorsed the selection of the design by artist Susan Narduli.

Westinghouse Mod. by Montgomery Traction Elevator at War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco, CA
Sorry that this is not the best video. I was in a major rush (I came VERY close to missing the show I came here for), and it didn't help that I was filming this one-handed because there was grease on my other hand. I got a much better video of the other elevator here though, which is very similar to this one. Innovation Universal fixtures. The original car switch is still present. I have been told that it still works, but only for moving the elevator in one of the directions, and it is disabled unless enabled with a key. There is a newer annunciator panel. It is still used when the elevator is in attendant service (the elevator will not respond to hall calls automatically when it is in attendant service).
Year installed: Circa 1932
Year modernized: Circa early 1990s-1994
