Which Way Does The Elevator Go

So the contractor stripped down the furred out wall around the elevator core.  That left the Elevator button dangling on the wall.  So they went back a month later and screwed them to the terracotta elevator shaft wall.  That's a good idea better than leaving them dangling.

No the problem.  They didn't exactly put them up the right way.  As you can see in the image an elevator buttons installed side by side and with no up or down or color kind of makes it hard to tell what button to push.  So you always have to hit both.  Not bad you know an elevator is coming but you don't know what direction it is going in until you take the ride. Why? well all the direction indicators disappeared months ago because they had nice brass fittings.  But why stop there; some were actually put back upside down!  So you get in thinking your going up and you end up in the cellar.

I am going to start taking bets at the door 50/50 up or down. that is if the elevator ever comes...
