Now this was a treat.

The Montauk Manor was built in 1926, both elevators being original to the building. Both elevators were installed as traction, probably by OTIS. Then, around 1960, both elevators were completely modernized with OTIS “pre-lexan” fixtures and converted to hydraulics.

Then in 2008, ThyssenKrupp modernized this elevator (buttons only) and left the other one original. The Montauk Manor was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

The building may have been a hotel previously. Today, it operates as a luxurious hotel/condominium resort.

Montauk Manor is highly recommend for a visit. Even if you don’t stay here, please stop to admire its beauty.
