Some Speculation on the Elevator Building's Roots

This is the back wall. It looks rather charming with the elevator insert in place. 

This is a weird little building. Scale-wise, inside it probably only has room for the elevator and those back stairs, and not much else. Maybe it was part of something else. My thoughts are that it was once the side entrance to a 4-storey motel, and the main motel part is missing.

Those side doors would open into long corridors that have the rooms branching off. On the model there's no provision for attaching a fire escape, so I guess they must lead to internal passages of some sort. 

This would imply that there's a 4-storey piece with the rooms and some sort of main entrance out there somewhere. But, for now, it'll just be some little odd apartment along the Alta Vista TC. 

Maybe it's where Ed Bryce holed up after his divorce and early days at OSI :-)
