This was one of my favorite explorations in quite a while. While showing Jeff around downtown St Louis, I recalled a time when my parents stayed at the Union Station hotel many years ago. And that the hotel had some pretty cool elevators. That turned out to be an understatement. The building features 2 Westy hydros retrofitted into crazy spots - 1 crammed in a pie-shaped space in the middle of a historic staircase, and another in what appears to be an original birdcage elevator shaft. Plus there's a few others around the complex with their own fun quirks. And the building itself is so cool. Although the attached shopping mall is closed for redevelopment, the hotel really turned out to be the main attraction here.
I have a (not so great) video of the mall elevator from years ago which you can see here - • Westinghouse Glass Hig...

The old combined with the new done in perfect harmony.

I never knew of the awesome gems at this place. I have been on the oddly shaped one many MANY years ago. 1988 to be exact. So cool to see the others here.

Man, that third elevator you filmed sure has some speed to it! That's one speedy hydro! I'll have to check this place out when I come to STL!

I remember coming here back in 2009, and I did see the caged elevator and the internal one with that piece cut off, but I never saw the pie shaped elevator. Where was the pie shaped one? I should get back to St. Louis sometime.

The third elevator that you found was probably modded or completely replaced in the 80s but the cage is covered by Plexiglass because by code, the cage has to be covered so nobody gets their fingers cut off
