Wow that's cool & beautiful! And fast for 2 floors. I feel the inside buttons aren't original & instead they installed something that looks historically accurate, but even though it's not Otis it goes with the elevator perfectly.

My My this is a one gem of an historic "sales sample Otis Elevator" Two floors, geared basement traction machine AC, combo controller and selector and the earlier two hoist ropes. I'm presuming the motor is a single speed 3 phase AC induction/slip ring it certainly stops smoothly on descents and assents. Perverse this historical elevator.
