On March 23, 1857 the first Otis passenger elevator was installed was at 488 Broadway in New York City.
The first passenger elevator was installed by Elisha Otis in 1853 at the Old City Hall in New York City. Otis's invention featured a safety brake system that prevented the elevator from falling if the cable broke, making it safe for public use. This innovation significantly contributed to the development of tall buildings and urban architecture, as elevators allowed for efficient vertical transportation.

The first known use of a lift was in 236 BC by Greek mathematician Archimedes to transport water. The first modern passenger elevator was developed in the mid-19th century by Elisha Otis, with the first commercial elevator installed in 1857 in New York City's Haughwout Department Store.

Customers in a department store first took the lift in the late 19th century, with the introduction of the passenger elevator. The Otis elevator company played a significant role in making elevators safe and reliable for public use. The first notable department store to use a passenger elevator was the New York City-based Macy's, which installed one in 1857. This innovation revolutionized shopping experiences by allowing easier access to multiple floors.
The first escalators were not in Paris; they were actually invented in the United States. The first working escalator, called the "inclined elevator," was patented by Jesse W. Reno in 1892 and installed at Coney Island, New York. However, Paris did see its first escalators in the early 20th century, particularly in the Métro system, which incorporated them to help commuters navigate its underground stations.
Roped (traction) elevators came first. Otis Elevator Company invented the modern elevator in 1853 which used ropes. Otis Elevator Company then also invented the first hydraulic elevator which was installed in 1909 at the Singer Building in New York City (since demolished).
