Another rummage sale... another study in human nature!  I phoned
the church office to enquire about wheelchair accessibility & was told
they had an elevator door near the parking lot.  I felt rather skeptical,
however, when my informant went on to say "Just press the black
buzzer."  I wondered whether we were suppposed to wait for somebody to
arrive who could actually operate it... an event about as likely in my own
experience as having a genie appear & offer to grant three wishes. 
Years before Nora needed a wheelchair I'd learned that folks who say
"Just do xxx" usually leave out some very important detail, so I
inspected the elevator while Dallas stayed with her elsewhere.  To make a
long story short... the black buzzer was a car call button.  The door was
unlocked, and the elevator was at parking lot level, but it won't operate
without a key. It's similar to the lift we have at home & I had a lift
key in my pocket which worked pefectly.  Although I'm glad I found a
solution, I wonder sometimes how many people are clueless because people
like us make things look easy....  :-)
