Скачать или смотреть The historic Otis

A local Detroit, Michigan resident who saved and reinstalled one of Downtown Detroit Michigan’s former Hudsons Department Store Elevators!!

In 1985 when Hudsons closed its Downtown Department Store he couldn’t imagine seeing these Historic ‪@OtisElevatorCo‬ be imploded with the building.

After close to a TEN YEAR battle with building owners and the city of Detroit after the property owners fell behind on property taxes they gave in to Alex’s request gave him a full set of keys to the building and gave him 30 Days to remove as many elevators has he wanted!

20 Years 2 out of 57 Elevators sat in a storage locker collecting dust for years. In 2018 Alex and his wife decided to build a home in the suburbs of Detroit and they made his dream a reality and hired Lardner Elevator Company and Opie Stark to re-engineer one of the former elevators!

With the help of the state of Michigan and Detroit Elevator they took this 1920s @otiselevatorco that was sitting in hundreds of pieces in a storage locker to one of the most impressive restorations the world has probably ever seen!

A Full video will be coming soon to ‪@DieselDucy‬ and ‪@stlelevators‬ Youtube channels in the next few weeks where we get to hear Alex’s story on his Hudson’s Elevator!
