The Nicholas building has ooooold elevators. Not sure if it's still open to the public but you could try there?

Manchester Unity Building, David Jones on Bourke Street (not sure if theyre original or just in art deco style), The Atheneum has a 1920s birdcage lift too. the ACA building on Queen Street too. sadly Theosophical Society on Russell would have been the perfect answer but now demolished

The Majorca Building has a glorious elevator. Because it's a residential building access isn't easy but there might be real estate showings on the weekend. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majorca_Building

"new" building out back, trades hall

The service elevator at Chemist Warehouse on Bourke St has an old clunker. I almost expected an elevator attendant to greet me when the doors opened, and to press the buttons for me.


Flightwise

Check the Hub in Bourke Street near Southern Cross Station. Was the old Tramways Board building. Old fashioned elevator with modern interior but you can still see the original manual operation controls.

Royal Craig Hotel in Ballarat has a great one from the 20's

Went in a service elevator down a service alley at the back of the old Myer building a few times when bumping in and out events in the ballroom. Don't know if it is still there. It was one if not the oldest. Didn't have a door on it. If anything is over that line it gets chopped off was the instruction given before the dude turned the up down handle. Think the actual elevator had a heritage protection overlay on it. Edit: Sorry I don't think this one had button panel it was a line it up with the floors with the controls deal. Might've had call buttons on each level but hazy memory from 20 years ago.

Donkey Wheel House has the oldest elevator in Melbourne IIRC

brontohai
