You know, that service elevator with the 2-speed doors might have been actually working. It might have been locked at a floor by maintenance personnel to move or work on something.
-
This video made me laugh so much - how much you were surprised that it was a Westinghouse, gluse saying 'listen to Andrew mum!' Added to my favorites!

I use to work at this hotel when it was called Adam's Mark. the hotel was still under renovation at the time but I loved eating my lunch on the helicopter pad of the central tower. I was told by my friend who still works there that it's impossible to get up there now.
-
What I've noticed about westing house is that they might add extra weight on the counter weight to go up faster
-
These elevators have a lot of character, and the 40th floor looks awesome. My kind of place. I wish I could come here!
-
Did a search on Flickr for the Sheraton in Dallas and found some interesting images. One of the restaurants was the "Singapore Yacht Club"
-
Awesome video Andrew :D
-
This building(southland life building )was the tallest building west of the Mississippi back in 1959 and I’m wondering if this was the observation deck they had back in its hey day
-
That's cool that you got to explore the top floor of this hotel. I didn't expect there to be escalators on the top floor. Although, it's sad to see the top floor in this condition.

love the shade he threw at his mom 😂

When it opened in 1959 the Sheraton Hotel was part of the original buildings. Observation deck was located 41st floor. Adam's Mark hredeveloped all 3 towers of the complex into one large hotel in 1998. In 2007, it was sold and the new owners REflagged it as a Sheraton, returning to the shortest tower's orig name from fifty years before. I used to visit the observation deck whenever I went downtown as a kid - which was often, since that was before the days of malls.

Nice Andrew!!
-
It was a glitch notice it wasn't chiming when it stopped on 14. The button on 40 cancelled itself out

@force311999 According to the building history, this hotel was built as an office tower in 1959. It was converted to a hotel in 1998 by Adams Mark. The roof was an observation deck, not a ballroom. The office tower had a famous and exclusive restaurant on level 37. Architecturally, it's hard to devise why exactly the passenger elevators did not service 41. It may have been that the observation deck was an after-thought because 40 is clearly a MEP floor, which is usually at the top.

I was here today. This hotel has a ton of elevators. I never knew there used to be an observation deck. The 40th floor was closed off.

8:02 Alex is getting wise with his mom.
-
In central tower elevators used to be westinghouse from 1958 and now is modernized by Montgomery Kone in 1998
-
I've been on the 40th floor when the lights were off. Shame to find out there were escalators. :(
-
@force311999 It's not under construction. It's out of use. Chances are when Adams Mark was doing the hotel conversion in 1998, they would have had to install brand new elevators to service 41 in order to fulfill ADA requirements that had been passed in 1991. The original office tower observation deck with only the escalators would have been exempt past 1991 because it was an existing structure and thus would be grandfathered in. It's hard to imagine a world before ADA requirements.

7:30 and 7:40 absolutely right :) These are kind of videos that I like, stuff that you don't normally see. I rarely film if other are around me as I love exploring places like this. 9:28 cool lanterns! DAMN shame this wasn't working. Strange service floor, surprised by the state of it when there are escalators going up to a public area.
