Interesting elevators

I have a strange hobby. I absolutely love elevators. Does anybody have any suggestions for cool elevators to visit? My three areas of interest are:

1. Antique elevators with operators, such as those at the Fox Theatre in Detroit. These are my main obsession, particularly ones in buildings with over 8 stories. The holy grail would be a building like the late, lamented 25 story J.L. Hudson's department store in Detroit that had 96 elevators with operators. Wow!

2. Interior elevators that are so fast they take your breath away, such as those at the Prudential Tower in Boston or the John Hancock building in Chicago.

3. Fast glass elevators, such as those at the Marriott Marquis in Manhattan and Atlanta, or the St. Francis in San Francisco.

Surely the readers of this board know of some beauties...
