Primitive elevators were in use as early as the 3rd century BC, operated by human, animal, or water wheel power. From about the middle of the 19th century, power elevators, often steam-operated, were used for conveying materials in factories, mines, and warehouses.
In 1853, American inventor Elisha Otis demonstrated a freight elevator equipped with a safety device to prevent falling in case a supporting cable should break. This increased public confidence in such devices. Otis established a company for manufacturing elevators and patented (1861) a steam elevator. In 1846, Sir William Armstrong introduced the hydraulic crane, and in the early 1870s, hydraulic machines began to replace the steam-powered elevator. The hydraulic elevator is supported by a heavy piston, moving in a cylinder, and operated by the water (or oil) pressure produced by pumps.
Electric elevators came into to use toward the end of the 19th century. The first one was built by the German inventor Werner von Siemens in 1880.

Yes, elevators were invented in the 19th century, with early versions emerging in the 1830s. These initial elevators were often steam-powered and primarily used for transporting goods in warehouses and factories. The development of the safety elevator by Elisha Otis in 1852 made them safer and more practical for use in buildings, paving the way for their widespread adoption in urban architecture. By the late 1800s, elevators became common in taller buildings, revolutionizing urban design.
