Just two years ago this week, however: it celebrated its rebirth after 27 years of abandonment! I've featured Karcher here before, but now a complete history and exploration writeup is on jonrev.com; a new website which was launched earlier this month. Enjoy!

Great write up and great seeing the history of the place mixed with its rock-bottom state and then it's complete revival. Warms my soul! Nice job! I was in a tower here in October and was fascinated by the 1930s freight elevator, completely manual as you described. It's a little different than the one you took a photo of but similar.

That one definitely looks newer; I wonder how long manually-driven freight elevators were the norm. I've only found a few like those, neither of which were operational.
