Jesse W. Reno (1861–1947) invented the first working escalator in 1891 (patented March 15, 1892) used at the Old Iron Pier, Coney Island, New York City. An earlier escalator machine termed by its inventor "revolving stairs" was patented in March 9, 1859, but was never built. Reno graduated from Lehigh University in 1883 with an engineering degree.
