The modern elevator was invented in 1852 by Elisha Otis, who developed a safety mechanism that prevented the elevator from falling if the cable broke. While elevators in some form existed before this, Otis's invention marked a significant advancement that made elevators safer and more practical for commercial and residential use. His first public demonstration of the safety elevator took place at the Crystal Palace in New York City in 1854.
